The Name of Truth

Truth is the agreement of our ideas
with the ideas of God – Jonathan Edwards

 

In the streets of the world
Truth is walking veiled
like frightened peregrina
—the sorrow of centuries
in her eyes.
Her Name in God’s Word,
A-letheia,
beautiful like a poem,
her Name in God’s Word,
A-letheia,
diamond worth,
her Name in God’s Word,
A-letheia,
More accurate than sciences exact:
that which can never fall
into oblivion, Lethe.
Isaiah waved to the maiden
from afar
the Seed of David
birthed her on the Cross,
the universe witnessed her Blood.
To this day
Jews and a litany of Christians
alike
hardly know her Name.
