metanoia

Μετανοια.

Grieve not – heart – for things that may not pass rather grieve
Cry out and mourn for all that has.
Allow thy deep-seated tears, fears, to flood Jesus’ feet
Those lies that you believed – words which you could not help but scream
When the seams of what you wanted burst and you began to bleed.
Grieve then, for then you may come to feel
Your own skin around you your own heart beating, still,
When death thought it had taken all and watched your fall
Your burst-self went to face its God.
And found in its despair Christ’s tears, fears, and blood for thee
Your self gathered in his arms, forgiven, cleansed and free.
