Her hair washing the dust from his feet

Something so intimate, so revealing
her body bowed before him
her tears falling, raining down
washing his feet, anointing with perfume
her hair washing the dust from his feet
abject submission, before the Messiah
her love pouring out, tears of cleansing
joy to offer, this her service,
her hair washing the dust from his feet
