wiping her tears with her hair

the dust from Christ’s feet
her tears of joy
little splatters of love
falling upon his feet
watching her submission
her servanthood for the Master
how she came to him uninvited
intruding on the meal
bowing before Christ
weary from his travels
her tears mixing with the dust
wiping her tears with her hair
anointing his feet with perfume
a word of love from Christ
