Who or what is the divine image? The one who perfectly embodies mercy, pity, peace, and love; our Lord, Jesus Christ. But the divine image of God is depicted on Earth as well, in some cases, through the love a father has for his daughter. However, we cannot depict mercy, pity, peace, and love perfectly, so we cannot be The divine image, but we can be reflections of it. Reflections with some distortions or blemishes, but reflections nonetheless.
We are made in the image of God, so we can be called a divine image; striving to be like the divine image. We want to be more like God; but our hearts are cruel and jealous. We do not love unconditionally like the Lord does, although we may try. These two poems parallel each other, showing one side that is the Lord and how we are effected when we try to be more like him, and on the other hand, how we are effected by our own human nature.
