Your Sins Are Forgiven

Contributed by Elizabeth_Dandy on Monday, 5th April 2004 @ 12:10:28 PM in AEST
Topic: ChristianPoetry

She entered fast, - she was from out of town,
Had slipped past servants, and at steady pace
Advanced amid some disapproving frown,
To find the feet she needed to embrace.

And kneeling down before her Lord and Master
She started weeping long and bitterly,.
Unsealed the heavy jar of alabaster,
A jar so tall, it almost touched His knee.

How many tears can hold the tear canal-
How many droplets will the gland allow
To course along the passage lacrimal
And spout and gush in love’s enduring flow.

Who could provide for such a tidal wave
Of tears’ profusion, but tremendous love,
With surge sufficient dusty feet to lave;-
A tear pit’s cache could not provide enough.

“A prophet He is not,- else He would know
About this woman, - her identity,
And would recoil from her and not allow
Her touching Him for everyone to see!”

But steady was the flow of tears we learn
Beneath the stare of righteous Pharisees
Who knew her well, but never could discern
The love that spurred the woman on her knees.

Dark luscious hair spread out to dry those feet,
To kiss, perfume them with a heart contrite;
Tears spent, - she dared not lift her eyes to meet
The gaze of love and merci infinite.

That is something I have always wondered about ... her love for Him - it would have torn her apart yet healed her in some way ... and His love for her - was so devoid of caring what her past was ... a perfect example of the forgiveness that He was capable of ... I truly enjoyed this write Elizabeth ... you have such ways of bringing your faith to light ... Jan

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
