His words and actions
cut deep, with razor-thin precision,
and what is more messy
than bleeding vows?
While she never ordered
open-heart surgery,
she already knows
that her scabs
will make her a
star.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! (Congratulations, you have received 5 Wow’s out of 5 Wow’s on my Richter Scale) Melody, that touched me. It really touched me. You hit the mark, poet! 🙂
Wow. Thanks so much…
“Bleeding vows”–been there.
I actually thought of you as I wrote, and another friend – that particular pain I haven’t had, but pain in plenty of other kinds. Not too hard to imagine this story…
I agree … WOW to the image of the bleeding vows … I can so relate as one who made them bleed … and yet, Christ redeemed and restored and healed … scars are left but look like stars now … this touched me deeply, dear friend
Thanks, Heidi. This echoes so many stories – there is so much pain. But scars are redeemed in God’s economy – I so love that!
Oh my . . .this is another strong poem, Melody! God bless you and that pen of yours!
🙂 Thanks Debbie! Bless your encouraging heart!
Ouch! I have a dear friend going through “bleeding vows”. And I believe she is going to come out the other side a “star” as she is not bitter and has turned even closer to the Star Maker. Lovely photo and words, Melody!
Blessings ~ Wendy
Thanks Wendy! It is very hard to watch a friend walk through this road – support her, she’ll need it!
