Him, her

[Ebubu]

Heaven wept
He'd done it again
He had said no!
then yes, then yes again
and again and again
He would say
he was sorry
to the one he loved
but he knew
deep inside
this great weakness
would eat him once more
and again

There she was
bleeding at the wrong time
She had wanted
to keep this bleed
till the night
after she stood
before her priest
till the night when
he would be worthy
Shame filled her heart
tears poured from her eyes
it wouldn't happen again
she swore it wouldn't

there I was
watching them both
in different places
at the same time
I wished they
would see me, feel me,
let me touch them
I wished they had known
before their actions
that I stood with them
as a mighty deliverer


That time was gone now
I wished now
they would see
the warrior that I am
the lover, friend
comforter, helper
Oh! my heart bleeds
That they would know
that the future
is ahead of the past
not only in time
but in magnitude
I wish they would know
that I am God almighty
lover-God, friend-God,
restorer-God
Amen

Ah, how misplaced physical intimacy can rend the heart and soul. Blinded, we are, by passion at times, but God can heal if we turn to Him. I pray we stay strong and wait, but some may fall. He will be there to catch us. I feel the message of this one.
