Poetry
A broken pipe,
a broken door,
may be repaired
and it's not
much more
to fix a broken sink.
But a broken heart
will flood the soul
and broken trust
will take control
of shattered lives.
Its paranoia
will keep
its victim bound,
until at last
the soul that sleeps
the restless death
of tyranny,
denial bound
up in despair
submits
its treasures
to the care
of He who
knows and
understands
its intricacies.
Broken pipes
and broken sinks
broken hearts
and ships that sink
all have in common
this one thing,
they cannot
fix themselves.
They need a Power
Higher than
the thing that is.
A Higher Power
that transcends
the break can
mend the tear.
So call the plumber,
take the chance
and with despair
refuse to dance.
Now is the time.
Today's the day
to stop the flow
of runaway
brokenness.
