If I could capture the bones and skeletons of words

And turn them into poetry and art!

To share skin on skin  one human to another

And release the shackles of a beating heart!

 

My poem would implore us to sing out loud

To praise our God and reach out for one another!

Let us no longer hide our fears in silence

Let our wounds be healed in the balm of His presence!

 

Oh bones and skeletons and skin and hearts

These are the parts of beloved lives lived!

May these words on paper help someone believe

There is someone else out there who knows and sees!
