When sweetness anointed a brow lit eye

When sweetness anointed a brow lit eye
the good sense to look beyond the sky
did he lift a withheld heart to weep?
Pasque flower like in a rocky deep.

Or did he dwell with a heart of empathy
innate with a life so rich without apathy.
Or did he with earthly colors fling...
His heart into a bleaker ebony thing!

When sweetness anointed a brow lit eye
the good sense to look beyond the sky
Was it then that he went indivisible bye?
And if so, O, my lord god, why don't I…
