Shattering

This week snow and frozen water that had filled ditches, loosened, moved away in a rush, leaving a blanket of ice behind, to splinter and hang on branches and reeds. 

My heart too

feels this breaking away

this shattering

edges sharp, fragile

thin enough to be

transparent

yet holding on

with tenacity

this then

is how I choose

to grasp Him

broken, raw, bleeding

surrendered

to His hands

where even pain

reflects light

and He creates

beauty



The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 NIV
