Terribly Beautiful - Love

Love

a beautiful and terrible tapestry

woven threads of pain and glory

goodness, joy

sorrow and sacrifice

Love

changes us

destroys us

makes us broken

makes us whole

Love

gently tears through our hearts

cleaning the filth

striping us naked

leaving us vulnerable, safe

trust

faith

Can I believe when I don't see?

How do I embrace such a consuming fire?

It ravages our souls

It burns us into Beauty

Oh Love,

Will you break us and make us whole?

Will you, in kindness, push through our defenses?

Will you make us like you?

Made in the image of Love?

Jess, your writing is my favoritest. And that doesn't even begin to encompass how powerful it is :) My words cannot express. But yours do.
