Poetry
A passion burns within my heart
That words fail to describe
I yearn to find a better way
To show you what's inside
A priceless jar, with precious oil
Held in my trembling hand
I break and empty at your feet
And know you'll understand
As fragments fall, I'm broken too
And what's inside spills out
That you accept this worship act
I have no cause to doubt
The jar cannot be mended or
What was inside restored
I cannot claim the treasure back
Upon your feet I poured
A sweet and fragrant perfume now
Pervades this holy place
And You, the source of my delight
Will meet me face to face

You've done it again. Awesome look at a very intimate act of worship. Beautiful imagry - and as far as placement of the extra stanza - I'm with Brandi on that count. Do you have a home for it? It's too good not to share widely.
