You Would Not Care to See me Naked .. Surely

Neville

You Would Not Care to See me Naked .. Surely

 

You would not care, to see me naked these days, surely

as indeed, I do thee ..

And although, these words of mine, mouthed soft are

meant for you, entirely

I fear their meaning, might get lost, in their dubious

migration, as they dance

their way, from me to you, across the skies and seas ..

Indeed, each scar I wear

today, as God is my holy witness, I do bare for thee ..

And so remember this

dear heart, each stone they cast to drive me from thy bed

did once leave the hands

of hypocrites, and liars, who wear their own shells darkly ..

        A brief sketch of a much deeper truth there, only a hint of a whole complex relationship in less than congenial circumstances.
        Provokes curiosity which I doubt you will satisfy, Neville.

          Thank you Dave ................................ Neville

          This brought me to a passage my mother read to me growing up..

          Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

          Hebrews 4:13

          Awesome write 🎈

            • Bella Shepard

              Scars that are exposed , painful but lingering, memories difficult to dislodge. Soul baring my friend.

              • Neville
