The Promise
by LateNiteFantasy©
Along His path He finds her;
charred and broken
Her tortured soul laid open;
bleeding and raw
He lifts her up
and cradles her in His hands.
He spies a tiny ember...
a spark of life left behind
Tenderly He cleans the wounds,
washing away the ashes of distrust
and the crust of despair
He sees her promise
Gently He blows upon the tiny flame
igniting the desires...
hidden by a lifetime of pain.
The fire burns hot; removing the dross of pain and broken trust
He protects that gentle flame
cupping His hands about it
keeping the winds at bay
Using His own light, He shows her the way;
along the path to completeness
He holds her enraptured
offering her the freedom within the bonds
Guiding her to the light
Finally, she is whole.
