"New Man"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Caution boomerangs back as reckless disregard when I throw it into the wind

Falling short of the glory of God, I realize "all have sinned"

My scars have mended underneath the bandages I've removed

Healing intended to be brief is now eternally improved

And a brand new man is present, but only for a pause

What will be is so unpleasant, so I only see what is and what was.
