Love Saw It
Broken,
a vessel born into sin,
a
torn and bruised world full of
ups
and downs. Life’s rollercoaster
we
ride; erratic, off-center, full of
noise
and clutter. Shallow like sand
shifting
through fingers, exposing
the
torment of broken dreams that lead
to
tears in the image of a waterfall; hope
fleeing
into empty spaces that have no
hiding
place. Life is often like shattered
glass
cutting to the core, inflicting an
open
wound to spread or be healed. Love
saw
it. Love slowed the rollercoaster,
healed
the bruise, stopped the torment,
dried
the tears, covered the empty spaces
and
put the broken pieces back together
again.
Love saw the need and made a way.
