Transparency


Shadows and light played off a colour
clear and transparent
wanting to be seen and known
simply for what it is.

I desire no pretense
no disguise
I am not playing games
each mark and line are visible
close to the surface.

Fragile and easily torn
by wind, rain,
or trampled
beneath a careless footstep.

In such pure vulnerability
I am totally weak
yet in my surrender
I blossom in His strength.

So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak [[a]in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful [b]in divine strength).  2 Corinthians 12:10 Amplified

    Oh, I love this. Fragile and vulnerable. Yet in surrender, I blossom in His strength. Nice!

    Great poem, I love the last part...

    In such pure vulnerability
    I am totally weak

    I blossom in His strength.

    Thanks for sharing with us!

    Beautiful. I especially love this stanza:


    I desire no pretense
    no disguise
    I am not playing games
    each mark and line are visible
    close to the surface.

    I love this. I admire anyone who can write poetry. I've never been able to. This was so nice.

As we travel on the road our Lord has placed before us, it's nice to meet a friend along the way. Thank you for stopping to leave a few or many words, I'm always interested to read your thoughts.
blessings and love,
in His service,
in the fire,
