at the end of my days,
my final act will be
to split open my chest,
revealing my inward parts.
engraved on my heart, my lungs,
and etched into my bones—
every square inch—
covered in the Beloved’s name,
so that all who look there will know:
every beat of my heart, every breath,
every movement of my body
was for Him alone.
