you do not judge as the world judges.
you turn the judgements of the world upside down.
your criteria are not at all what we expect.
not at all! 

we call you king
but your kingship is not what we understand by kingship.
another thing we get entirely wrong.

and we can only understand this by listening.  . . . . .



when we listen you overturn all of our preconceptions.
one by one.

in your silence we learn the real truth.

but if we stop listening - even for a day -
we forget everything!

it is only your presence that gives us understanding.
things that we can never know, or even remember, otherwise.
