Redeemer Pains Through Window Panes Poem by soren Barrett

Redeemer Pains Through Window Panes

Melting from unseen clouds, moving forms
Dark lines dissolve with coming storms
Sunbeam paint flows from an empty sky
Brushing warmth with its dye

Moving squares of sun on my floor
Outside a cold wind, inside shut door
Sun fades blend into lattice shades
Shadow's prison bars a fly evades

From night's garden of stone it came
There bathed in black shame
Osiris dismembered, Amen resurrected
Here shadows in a cross are connected

Yesterday's sun in a gibbet hung
As a pendulum across the heavens swung

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Osiris an Egyptian god that was cut up and his pieces spread over the world to be gathered up and rejoined to resurrect him. Amen the Hebrew derivation of the Egyptian sun god Amun that died each night and resurrects each morning. Both forerunners of Christ
