Love Incarnate

 
cruelly I touched you
reached in with my sin
in the first realm of understanding
I knew you
 
in this life, we were cast to the seas
still, we found one another
a great unkindness
I'm not your age
 
you know me from the inside
recognize me in my words
see me in the silly smiles
of the girls, you reach for
with hopes, one would be like me
 
cruelty has refined who I am
from pain made beautiful
a godly work of art
I will return to the sea  
to be formed again
 
I've known you since time first began
I will know you anew when it ends
