David

Stance of humble pride and fear’s courageousness
Exposed, yet covered in victory 
Clothed yet bare of haughtiness
Bold, bearing all, revealing naught
Humble, hiding all,  concealing  nothing
Hands stong yet gentle
Hands created for both chaos and calm
Eyes blazing, gazing off into the abyss 
 Silently shouting 
“Dear LORD, where else must I go,
 who else must i conquer  
 to capture your heart?”
