She watches Him write,
His finger carving lines in the earth, the soil,
the sand, the rocks they would have thrown.

He bends without sin, lowering Himself
to the same dust He used
to make Adam.

She hears Him speak forgiveness.
Knowing every offense, her every flaw,
He loves her still.

He stoops with grace.
She watches as He bends to write
His name upon her heart.
