A poem from a friend

There is a brokenness
Out of which comes the unbroken
a shatteredness
Out of which blooms the unshatterable.
There is sorrow beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility out of whose depth emerges strength.
There is a hollow space too vast for words
Through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sound
Whose serrated edges cut the heart as we break open to the place inside
Which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing.

A friend of mine sent me this beautiful poem. My thougths while reading this poem was to dwell on how our Lord heals the broken, becomes the light in our lives, and supplies all of our needs. Thanks be to Him, who alone is worthy to be praised. Let us all sing our praises to our Lord and our God.
