Can I Be Known

In the confessional cry
In the repenting proclamation

That I have nothing without you
That I am nothing without you
That I am nothing
Nothing

I am
No
Thing
Without you

I am suddenly opened up
To the fullness
Of everything
The world comes alive
And with new eyes
I see everything

With new eyes
I see the fullness of
Every
Living
Thing

When we meet
Face to face
When you see me
And I do not to look away
And I choose

Nothing

No illusion
No vanity
No comfort
To cover my countenance

When I choose your searching of me

My beginning and end

When I choose
No
Thing
But you

When I choose
You

This world does not diminish
Instead

This world pulses

It breathes
It speaks
It reveals
It proclaims
It glorifies

It lives in the fullness
Of seeing face to face
It lives in the fullness
Of being fully known

“Now we see but a poor reflection in the mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Cor 13:12

The kingdom is here. Our bodies are screaming to be known.
