Scene Unseen

The dense aroma of abundant perfume

saturated the atmosphere of the room,

where He was seated, and worshiped.

Tears and messy hair rolled over His feet.

Questions permeated the minds of those who

could not see. Why this, why here and now?

For blinded eyes see not the glory of the flesh covered

God.  No, fleshy eyes cannot behold such spiritual majesty.

Yet in great contrast evident even to the blind,

in passionate adoration she was inclined to bow

before the eternal and incarnate One.

For her eyes had been opened; she beheld the Son.

Sometimes sight is contagious

when the blind are made to see.

Yet often 'tis thought outrageous

by those still blinded. Oh the travesty.

Yet had that worshipful scene

been deeply grasped, by eyes washed clean.

There would not have been only one 
bowed before Him in awful adoration.
