6th Sunday after Epiphany

Mark 1:40-45

Standing alone
--in the far off corner of the world
----stood
-------the messiah
The Chosen one
Who
Would lead the people on to
--a newness
beyond
their ability to see
and yet standing there
--with the hurting ones
----(if it be your will)
--who saw
if even for a brief moment
a wonder
----in this one called Jesus
----(you)
who in the powerlessness of humanity
--Shattered
----(can make)
the chains of those who could see them
the chains visible
--in the sores and blood
----the rejection and death
--------(me clean)
of all
but seen only by the many
who hurt enough to care
--or cared enough to hurt
--------and be made whole again
by the grace of God
--among us
and the void that was filled
in the lives
----made empty
spread
--------(it is my will)
to all the land
--and people
----and time
with the message
------------(be clean)
that the Christ was here
