Broken Face

A poem depicting our freedom and life in Christ

By Carolyn Garner – Eyes of fire Mouth that hates Tongue that scorns Heart that lies – Shoves out thought That torments soul Kills the hope Of ones who mourn  – Buries love To help forget Pain it caused The ones who left  – Men meant to run Crawl in shame Conscience screams Of duty now lost – A heart twists Bruises and burns Ice like fire Melts to pain – Wracks the body Tortures the mind Kind words stab The heart that cries – Light stings Blinds the eyes Blackened by hate Sheds the lies  – Shakes the body Light overcoming Fills the mind Words come flowing  – Moved the course The feet had walked Now gone flying To people he sought – Overwhelming No thought of dark Mustard seed grows Into tree of life  – Full of passion Spirit now eased Music in soul Gone is disease  – Fills the body Beauty explodes Changed the face Once broken in pieces
