The Uncloaked
Virginia Salter

In humbleness, full humility,
He entered the city after having
wept for its future, past
and present.
Though shod in sandals,
on a donkey, robed as mere peasant,
He was hailed as King,
rejoicing, praising,
carpeted with the cloaks of
His believers

The uncloaked ones
crying out, “Crucify”
forgetting reverence, adoration.
Amnesiacs betraying their Loved One
divorcing their unity
turning faces away
disavowing vows
inhabiting full weakness
more profoundly than ever before

He, in His strength,
held His tongue
folded His hands
and gave His all
drinking the cup of death
to life eternal
for those,
though uncloaked before him,
believe and receive
His love, His gift.

Oh, this hit a personal spot with me... for that reason I'll have to applaud you on this poem. It's rare that I have such a profound impact made by one reading...
