As We Behold - a poem on becoming as we behold our Maker

as we behold,
we become.
morphed, reshaped.
molded by perfect, careful hands
belonging to the Beheld.

Your eyes,
glowing embers
bright flames
warming our souls.
convicting our spirits.
Your iris beckoning us closer
deeper
further
captivating all that we are
with a single look.
would we never look away.

Your voice,
rushing, calming
cool waters.
Your voice,
a pool that heals.
a river to bathe in,
to be cleansed.
an ocean to be swept up in,
caressed by the waves.
held by Your promises.
carried by Your love.

Your presence,
a multitude of colors
known
unknown.
as we rest,
sit,
discover,
we become covered in You.
Your character painting us,
Your soul singing love songs.

as we behold,
we become.
we become like the One who Beholds and is Beheld.
