Love Poem: See Me

See Me

SEE ME


Could you?
I pray 
on my knee
I fiercely plea 
could you
SEE 
ME?

Really see me?
Know the real me?
Try to be me?

Could you agree
to take the dive 
see where I’ve been
wade in my skin
let that sink in?

Not to accuse
or misuse
Not a command
just god’s plan

By his decree
would you take my hand 
sub-merge with me 
into an unsoiled sea
drowning the fear
that suffocates thee?
Be purified, revived 
reclaimed   
SET 
FREE?


Yes
I will choose
to capsize my view
surface clues              
the heart can’t refuse
I will wade in your shoe
drenched in each step
I drew renewed
flooded by river truth
til my saturated heart
could clearly
start to
know you, be you
SEE
YOU!

No debt to weigh
or fine to pay 
no hidden lies
or fake disguise

See what a sea 
of abundant love
can do?
For one and all 
not just a few
Float unfettered hearts
resurfaced anew
kissed by the dew
of time and space
engulfed in the current of
God’s quiet place

WE
stand 
face to face
embraced
 in a 
heartbeat of grace

I SEE YOU
YOU SEE ME
WE 
Emerge
Transformed
as
God’s Heart 
SET
FREE.
