Handful

how clean is a hand that's a handful of little things?
   no matter the size, the color,and the weight it bore
      it's never clean, no matter how empty

how clean is a hand that's a handful of mud?
   washed it all over, but the stink,
      it's still there, it never would leave

how clear is an eye to see a handful 
   no matter the vision, the color, and the sight it bore
      it's never clear, no matter how fair

how clear is an eye to a handful of dust
   rub it against the handful, what do you get?
      it'll never be clean, nor clear, nor perfect

how pure is one's soul that's mortal in nature?
   living, existing in a world of perfection
     cast no sin, speak nothing bad
       
and then we'll see, in His time
   the clean, the clear, 
     from this handful of tears...
