A Woman Loved Dearly

Kutlo Moletsane

There's speculations doing the rounds

That You bind up the old wounds,

Cause light to come out of darkness

And make the best out of the worst

 

There's claims that have been stamped for approval

Insisting that God is a girl-dad

I believe them so bad

I'm assuming it gets the boys mad

 

I am inclined to believe,

Because You have covered Woman with love as with a shield

The one by the well was star-struck and dumbfound

Like a child witnessing a magic trick, she fell for it! She fell for You, Messiah

Though her dirtiest of laundry was dug up as deep as the well itself, she left knowing it is well

 

In the most unfathomable way did You spare the one caught in adultery

Potentially marking this occurrence as one substantial act of grace recorded in history

Guilt should have been her portion, or even death itself,

But you overcame both and shamed her shamers

She shrunk and fought for dear life as her accusers aimed at her 

But You blocked them not with shield but words

It then rings true that your Word is like a sword, double-edged

 

You fashioned Woman in the most appealing way

Took Your time as You sat outside of time

You should have used clay but used man's rib, a sure sign of notability and unity

It could have been a life sentence, but You gave her beauty for ashes instead

    A sad read that is powerful and screams out to be heard. It is not just for one but many that this poem speaks.

      It comes from the depths of my soul. Thank you Soren and I hope you feel seen by God too today and always
