From The Window
From the Window
Looking through fogging glass
Yearning for darkness to fade
Resigns me to my broken pieces
Weakness I covered with charade
I am but a log placed for splitting
Clear lines of frailty formed that way
His design linked to life’s melody
A meaning I could not convey
Born a limb with many branches
Knots and turns formed by life
I consider now the majesty
Seeing weakness used to remedy strife
Split apart by a darkness
I found solitude found in surrender
A prism casting light to my broken existence
Resigned, I learned to see the Father
A winding road to to uncover
The truth placed plainly in word
A life lived with a secret
Discovered the One who heard
About this poem
In a time of reflection I reconciled shortcoming and brokenness in my life. I considered how my life has fractures, just like a log to be split. I found refuge and hope in something greater.
