At the foot of the cross
You’ll find us
Smiling outside
Exhausted inside
Loving
Always
Fully aware
Redemption begins
Here
At the feet
Of a suffering God
Made man
Broken
By us
Broken
For us
Naked
Bloody and bruised
Suffering immensely
He thirsts
Like us
For love
Of the beloved
A drop of water
A flood of rain
Many drops of water
An ocean
Unified
Parousia
Where love is all in all
Marriage
Two bodies in one
Then three in one
The trinity
Relational
A family
In the beginning
Love began
Naked
Serving one another
Generously
Until the fall
Suffering and ashamed
Visible and vulnerable
Together but alone
We see each other
With mercy
And loving eyes
And suddenly, darkness is illuminated
Like a puzzle
We become one
Complementarity
The voice of the beloved says, “Do not be afraid. I see you! I love you. I’m here.”
And the voice of the beloved reassures, “You’re thirsty. Let me bring you a drink.”
We are not alone.
Our thirst is quenched.
At the foot of the cross.
We die to ourselves
And rise up
Together
With a God
Whose love is unconditional
In the light of the resurrection
Marriage is
A pilgrimage through a dark valley
In which we bear each other’s cross
And encourage each other to keep walking
Met by verdant pastures
And
Restful waters
We walk toward the light
Following the sound of the voice that says an eternal, “I love you.”
Homeward bound
We journey

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I love it.
