Eyes Opened

In that instant, the second
that moment of connection
Christ and the believer, by his words
by his faith eyes opened
more than the disciples,
those who shouted him down
clear eyes to his presence
understanding who he was calling
calling out to the messiah
the heir to David’s throne
living root of Jesse,
son of the living God
healing him, by his word
by his own faith
eyes truly opened
