Questions screaming
Twisted with disgust
yet
This skeptic mind still sees it-
A portrait rich
Scandalous beauty…
Offensive boldness…
Full extent of
Love unconditional-
Dirt stained feet
held in his hands
All powerful
He kneels
before me
Uncomfortable, incomprehensible-
seated above this All-Powerful…
Suddenly Subordinate…
Analyze and protest it-
What a fool it makes
Him seem-
That the all powerful
would become
Powerless
Washing the feet of
Gomer
He knows
She’ll run from him again-
What a fool
This portrait makes him seem
Questions screaming
Twisted with disgust
This skeptic mind still sees it-
Love unconditional
The king bowed down
To wash the feet of
An unfaithful prostitute-
He knows...
yet
He loves.
Omnipotence
Humbled before me-
Scandalous boldness
So offensive
He is
So beautiful
He is
This rich portrait-
His love unconditional
