how frequently does the letter u appear in:
as the cool water slips across my skin and puddles at my feet.
the city of david encircling me like a dusty crown.
lavishly, spilling over the rooftop in an abundance of colour.
far faster than my fevered brain can fathom.
as his own – despite the fact that i am already claimed.
how could i say no to this man – my king?
as the reality of my sin settles on my shoulders.
the knowledge that i was too weak to say no.
with the seed of a king growing deep inside me.
because of the sin of a single night and the child of a king….
as tears lodge themselves deep in my broken heart.
but he was destined to bear the sin of his parents.
of the king’s cries fade into piercing silence.
as the smoke of a sin offering spirals towards the sky.
he is both just and good.
and new life can blossom to fill empty arms.
and that’s it for this week! thanks for reading!
i’d love to hear your thoughts on this poem… what do you think? does it ring true with what you know of bathsheba?
i love this! it’s so we’ll written, and descriptive.
i’m doing a bible study, and this story was a section i studied last week. it fits perfectly with what i’ve known from their story. great writing and wonderful image of redemption.
yes you do! 😉 the first one is probably the best of the three though – simply because it sticks the closest to the books.
💜💜 me too! thank you so much for your friendship as well, i love reading your work. we will meet up one day.
