shattered glass castles


he said he is broken too
he is broken
and we were weary tidal waves
ripples of water rolling over
shattered glass castles
our shattered glass castles

he said patience darling love
patience darling
and we were hopeful deer in spring
speckled in white light in flight from the
shadows surrounding
the shadows surrounding

don’t be swallowed by the flame

my love i am broken too
i am broken
my life was held by shaking hands
blue ribbon and an empty room where
demons devoured
my demons devoured

my love we are saved by grace
we are saved by
the hands that bear the mark of life
prevailing over all the earth that
grows dim around us
it grows dim around us

don’t be swallowed by the flame

diamonds


they are diamonds
containing light in precious ways
my pain is a gift
my tears an offering

the beauty of intricacy
is that it does not end
I am covered in diamonds
where my Father held me

every stitch left upon me
an intricate thread of light
