Sectile

Today's word is "sectile" ... capable of being cut smoothly with a knife

Release
Someday, life's silken cord,
as sectile as the one that bound us
at our beginning and then
released us to sojourn with those
who awaited our arrival, will
free us to fly into arms of God.

And we will see the whole Truth.
Nothing of this life will remain
mysterious. But, our purpose then
may be more than we suspect,
as angels sing unfamiliar hymns
and we learn the words
to all the songs we knew by heart.

Perhaps we will be privileged
to build together something that
appears to be a heaven on the earth,
begun at the world's inception,
now heralded by the reign of justice,
and inherited by selfless saints
alongside rogues redeemed.
