Forgetting Myself

What love is this?
That reaches into weakness
and speaks to me in deafness

When I was far away, even an enemy
Fresh light broke through
penetrating the darkest parts.

And still I sit here
alone in my self-pity
helplessly hoping for the acquittal
that only caresses those at the foot
of a Roman cross.

Breaking out of myself requires
repenting of staleness and realizing
the liquid love of Spirit-wrought affections
that have already been poured into my heart.

Slowly I am learning to forget myself.
I am becoming like Christ.
