poured out like water in your presence
pores oozing in restful ease release their strain
tears cascading down the face relieve the inner turmoil
extinguished are the flames of the seething volcano
banished are the armies of guilty thoughts
extinct is the paranoia of the aching void
when I behold your face mine is lit
in the mirror of your word transfigured am i day by day
who can reach the depth of your mercy?
who can conceal the wretched nature from your presence?
when deep called unto deep
I stand naked resting in the awe of you
