Fragile Human

 

Fragile human

Kneeling down

Spirit weary

Crease in brow

 

Mouthing words

That no one hears

Hidden pain

Takes form in tears

 

Fragile human

Head is bowed

Praying for comfort

Silence so loud

 

Listening hard

For any reply

An answer, a message

From something divine

 

No voice can be heard

Then out of the blue

An image, a feeling

Of something more true

 

An embrace from above

Warm and pure

Fragile human encompassed

In love so sure

 

Not an audible voice

But a feeling within

Says “you are enough,

Please let me in.”

 

This embrace is not human

Not fragile or fleeting

Its ABBA himself

It is love overwhelming

 

Prayers of many collide

Giving God’s love this form

An embrace from above

Fragile human adorned.
