Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep. 1 Samuel 30:4

A POEM OF DIVINE GAZE

POEM BY LEAH FISH:

Holy water

The tears that are cried

Holy water 

Flows from my eyes

Washing the face

That bears so much pain

Holy water

From the wellspring within

A fountain where He meets me

A fountain

I see him

Just dip one finger in

It changes

It stirs something deep. 

O living water

Flow from my eyes

Living water

I take the drink you’ve offered me.

Take my tears!

Flooding from the depths of me

I give my tears, each one I cry

I take my tears and wipe the dirt I see

Your face is swollen 

Your hair is matted

Your eyes barely seen

Yet You give me tears

I can offer

Tears that well up and flow from a place 

where we meet

Water to wipe your cheeks

Reflections I can see

Tears that soften me

Holy Tears given and

I offer back to thee

Please take them

May they console You in Your Agony

I look into Your Face and see a mother like no other.

A Mother You offer me.

She opens her mantle and wraps it gently yet firmly completely surrounding me

I look into Your Face and I see thee

I look into Your Face and Your gaze embraces me

Your gaze upon me

An embrace of my Divine Spouse enraptures me 

No words as the eyes of lovers meet

Knowing

Only those who know can understand

The intimate penetrating gaze that has no words

Yet fully and completely

sees

hears

listens

knows and touches me

in a place deeper than the deep

wider than oceans

farther than the stars!

All creation held within a small round Host before me

Humble King

Intimate Lover

I surrender

I give You all of me

I hold nothing back

I love You!

More of You and less and less of me 

Help me be smaller still

To come to the very center

The narrowest door

The one to the inner chamber

Where it is simply our hearts together

Beating as one. 

Light-fire- sun

Intimate Lover

Incarnate King

You enrapture me

As I look into Your gaze upon me.
