Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

Passing time has invited me to revisit a poem that I had composed a couple of years ago and add  a second verse. I'm so very grateful for the ongoing healing path that beckons towards more wholeness and transformation. Where are you on the healing path? Do you find yourself on a desolate coast or a shore of consolation?


On the desperate desolate coast...


A tinkling of fragmented glass

Stunning in its beauty

Brilliant remnants reflect

the Father's love and mercy.

Clinking filaments and shards threaten old wounds...

Bound up in courage-

Perfect love casts out fear-

step across the dazzling devastation

into new found freedom.

 

Returning…

Tides of time

Sweeping waves of grace and forgiveness

Tumble fragments – transformed edges smoothed

reminders of redemption.

Winking beach glass

Gathered up

Perfect love embraced

on the gentle shore of consolation.

      Thank YOU, Jan. Verse 1 was written two years ago as you & I shared a portion of the healing path together - remember?
