Shattered bones broken
Eight degrees // separation
Dysfunctional parts

Shattered
Shattered
There are times
in life
when everything
seems to go to pieces.
Devastated,
we think
our life is over…
But,
in reality,
those shattered pieces,
in the end
cement together
to become
the mosaic of our life!
Today I read a poem, by blogger Christine Bolten, called Jagged Pieces. It inspired the poem I wrote above. Her poem deals with brokenness, healing, restructuring, and the hope of forgiveness.

The mosaic tile art piece was done by friend and artist Lynn Carmichael.
Beauty in the Broken
Brokenness is another way of reinventing ones self. Sometimes when the hard knocks of life shatter our plans for the future destroying our self-image, it helps to realize that this is not the end, but rather the beginning of new and greater things.
Beauty in the Broken
Look for beauty in the broken
For out of the shards of glass
Comes a beautiful mosaic
More spectacular than the original…
A healing of brokenness
Forever cemented together…
The pieces of anticipation
Broken, yet whole once more
