SHADOWLAND

... more preachy stuff..

The heart is a muscle

       it is strengthened by breaking

down

       of tissue

              of Life.

 

Let your heart

       be caressed

stroked

       and torn in two

 

it will heal

       stronger then before

       with beautiful scartissue

              as a sign

       of the blessed.

 

The mark

       Of ABLE

Love and Devotion

       to the Christ

Within.

 

There is a river of healing

       that flows

              from my broken heart

                     to yours

we communicate through weakness

       that becomes

              strength.

 

We look at the Dawn

       with renewed hope

Born Again

       at the nexus

              of Light & Dark.

A lovely poem of faith and life. You really unfold this poem in a delicate manner as pain is experience, healed to be renewed once more.
