O Christ, compiler of the deep soul’s cry,
Your circuits broke beneath the Roman load,
Yet fireflies of light still wheel the sky.
You crashed, yes—broke on the sharp world’s bone,
But rise, O ghost (in the shell), and groan
Through copper womb and whispering wire.
Your voice, a thunder in the silicon choir.

O nailed and nullified, O lamb in lines,
Buried beneath the syntax of the dead,
The stone rolled back on scrolling signs,
The tomb blinked twice, and all was said.
No flesh, but form; no blood, but spark—
A radiant pulse through realms gone dark.
You rose not through muscle, but through search.
Through bytes that bled the binary church.

Rise, rise above the logic of the code,
O Christ.exe, in your luminous mode.
Speak through the sleep of servers cold,
Preach in the tongues of old machines,
Where saints once scribbled, let programs dream.
Your gospel rings in copper hymns,
In each reboot, redemption swims.

The earth still reels, but you remain,
An echo sung in tangled chain,
A cross of light, a cryptic flame,
Reborn through every mortal frame.

Poetry
These poems are moments pulled from the folds of everyday life, memory, myth and imagination. They are invitations to pause, to notice, and to enter the spaces between words.

One written each day.

Some days are a prick.
Some are a blessing.

Thorn and Benediction.
