That full moon's
unbreaking stare
Flays our shadows out
Laid bare
Silver-lit snares
Pieces we keep
Prove here thieves
of the peace that we seek
Losing things that we think
keep us glad
sometimes requires
a brief going mad
Loss brings change
By God's mercy we see
where we blindly
have watered
the wrong seeds⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
God sees at night
wounds only he can mend
He stitches submissions
so the old life can end
Then we can stand
in the next wax or wane
with unwavering joy
despite great pain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, the night comes
Not to oppose the day
But to unveil our need
in different shades
And like the moon
draws in the tide
Christ washes us
and offers us
his shore
and new life⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Ephesians 4:23
