forgiven
flesh to dirt
i crawl face down to your
throne
scarred feet are all i see
i kiss them with dirty lips you
lift me off the ground
i cannot raise my eyes
you dust my garb wipe my tears
kiss my cheek
beautiful man-God
your eyes are flaming jewels
your arms strong
you carry me back down to earth
embrace me tight
curse my fears
'forgiven'
you whisper
and slip into the darkness
until all i see is one eye
shining like a star

excellent, emily. it's so true that we're carried back down to earth... I've always heard Christ described as the God-man, so man-God added a new perspective. we certainly come to him first as a man and then are raised to be friends with God. but, as you write, we are always already brought down to earth, seeking to redeem dirt.
Beautiful em, simply beautiful.
love,a.
