that you would consider me .. ?

who am i that you would consider me?
what is my life that you look out for me?
am i not dust, handsfull of ashes?
   from earth is earth
      dust from dust
      ashes to ashes

it is written that you made them a little lower than angels
yet you crown them with honour, putting everything under their feet

under my feet?
surely not ..
not mine

who am i
   that you consider me
   and look out for me?

who are you
   that you consider me
   and look out for me?

who are you that you would step away from your place
   and take mine?

i am but dust! ashes!

how could you?

why would you?

you have become dust and ashes ..

.. .      .

i am dumbfounded by you
dumbfiunded
no words

you overwhelm me
my breath is caught still in my lungs
i cannot breathe for the thought of you

i am overwhelmed
there are no words
your love slays me
   absolutely

i can barely see you
my eyes cannot bear your glory
and yet .. i see you!
i see you!
windblown hair
burnished skin on
dusty sandalled feet
eyes .. eyes that will not let me go

show me you
i want to see you

speak to me
i want to hear you

breathe in me
i want to breathe your breath

love me
i want to love you

take me
mould me
breathe your life into me
anoint my eyes
illumine my mind
massage my heart

i would be you
move in you
you in me
breathe you
see you
touch you

breathe through me
see through me
touch through me

me in you and you in me

..
all i ask
