overwhelmed

Song of Solomon 1:15 “Behold, you are beautiful, my love; behold, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves.”

Psalm 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light.

i am my Beloved’s

stripped bare
revealed
unhidden
my scars and bruises present themselves to you
every stain and sin displayed
the places i bleed from spatter You
cracked, shattered, patched
anxieties and worries shown
all that holds me known
i am laid out before Your eyes
nothing to cover me but Your Son
who bathes me in light
naked
yet unashamed in Your presence
i hear You say
in the voice to which my knees bow
“behold,
you are beautiful, My love.”
