PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A handful of sandy sediments,

comforting sentiments

have been weathered away

when hope was extracted.



Every crack, every stain

left me unrefined,

but it was only natural

to be riddled with flaws.



Each trial has shaped me

from a fragile shell to

a malleable specimen

contouring to His will.  



But I will not allow

what has damaged me

to harden my hopeful spirit

nor my resolve to thrive.



I wish to stay permeable

that His grace may enter me

and not become diluted

when it escapes my lips.

A handful of sandy sediments,
comforting sentiments
have been weathered away
when hope was extracted.

Every crack, every stain
left me unrefined,
but it was only natural
to be riddled with flaws.

Each trial has shaped me
from a fragile shell to
a malleable specimen
contouring to His will.

But I will not allow
what has damaged me
to harden my hopeful spirit
nor my resolve to thrive.

I wish to stay permeable
that His grace may enter me
and not become diluted
when it escapes my lips.
