God's Body I

God broke his body for
Love, the one perfection the
Sole thought in the universe
Terribly alone wished others
To live so he could think 
And be and love through them

And he became one of us and
Did the same in our world so
We could see what he had
Done, how he fragmented
Himself so we might be;
And all this vast bright

Universe of planets and suns,
Solar systems, star clusters
And moons, galaxies and
Dust are parts of God's
Broken body shattered
Outward so he might bear us

And he became one of us
And did the same thing
Again to show us how
It was done and to ask
That we do the same - break
Our bodies to give others love.
