IN MY NAKEDNESS

Then I passed by you and saw you
And behold you were at the time for love
So I spread my skirt over you and covered your nakedness.


I NEVER swore to you but I entered into a covenant with you
So that you become mine
Then I bathed you with water 
Washed off your blood and anointed you with oil to shine.


How the person who stung me left with his skin still intact.
Set memories on fire and observe the smoke
Bamboozled. Bruised in fact

Reverse;

It was just last month. In the morning when I was smiling like a blooming rose
Now dawn came and all I see is the thorns in him
Erased the halo from around your head till all I see is the thorns in you


So I read the part of the Bible that said God is love
But I saw love on TV way more than I saw God
Now I separated them so far apart I can only see one at a time
When I am in need , I call His name


Earthquake shaking my soul, hide me now my nakedness in shame.
Open my heart and I saw the light.
Reality hits and I realise that my nakedness became who I am

Human enough, all the while naked
All the while waiting for healing.
And at peace my stitch marks became invisible.

      This is all part of healing
      Burying the butterflies that blossomed my feelings.

Awaiting the moment I let myself go to find out my fate.
Only to my astonishment; I am alarmed.
That all my mistakes are forgiven


The body of sin has left and the soul of purity remains.
