The wildly obedient heart
Flutters within its confines
Sculpted of clay,
Cognizant of its destiny,
Yearning toward Him,
Ever struggling out of darkness,
In part bound and gagged still,
Squirming toward the light
With one good eye,
Leaning in for strength,
Practicing courage,
Longing toward home…
They chose humiliation.
You chose exhortation.
