Known

There she stood clothed, yet naked
Before Him who looked into her
heart.
Fire and judgment stirred relentlessly
     And searched . . .

She looked into His eyes and saw
     severity
He did not penetrate her heart purposelessly
     But was determined

She could no longer stand and fell . . .

His arms wrapped around her and
     He held her close
“My child, my child, come close”

She looked into His eyes once again
      And was consumed by His love.
And yet His gaze had not changed.
