Life Laundered


I can write

yet

Only You can
     protect me from the depth
                               of my
sin.

Only You can

wash
it
pure
     lifting the dark stains
black
and
ground
through
     from the weave
                                of my
life.

Only You can

mix
red
     with miry blackness
finding
fibers
     son-bleached new.

Only You.

I can write
     ink-black words woven
     on linen fresh
 blood-bleached clean
 testimonial

  1. You can write. He can heal, protect and love. Together--you and and He can do the unimaginable. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit your ways to the Lord, and He will establish the plans."
    He does amazing things with our writing and our imaginations when we cling to him while we beat the crap out of our keyboard. The time is now. Bird by bird, my friend.
