Love Saw It--By Maurice J. Reynolds--United States

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.

  2. Rev. Reynolds, this one takes us all the way around from beginning to beginning again, and you offered some wonderful insights, like "hope
    fleeing into empty spaces that have no hiding place." It gave me an opportunity for hopeful reflection....
