Night of the broken-hearted God

Poem Artwork

[ Note – I don’t know if God ever truly gets exasperated, fatigued or frustrated in the sense that we understand those words, but I’ve no doubt that God’s heart breaks when we succumb to sin or walk the wayward path. ]

Night of the broken-hearted God

in sky,
moonlit:
negative space,
expanding
doubt
fringed
with ragged
disbelief
at wayward angels
and willful thoughts
within flawed hearts
of man.

     fatigued, frustrated,
God weeps
for our temptation,
moans.


tears fall
steady
through time to earth,
drip-drip-drop,
grace
tinged
with intense,
jagged grief.
Creator surveys
sin’s tangled roots,
mourns Eden’s dream
thus lost.

     exasperated,
God weeps
as all creation
groans.

Great write and the intro message is a winner too.

God's heart is only broken when HE sees hatred amongst humans. When all humans learn to accept each other and live in unisom that's when HE will be happy.

I also believe in Michelle's comments.

god's heart is broken ... under that premise, why doesn't he do something already so his heart can rejoice? i mean it's been thousands of years ... man needs guidance not pity ... yet, god seems to offer neither ...

just my take on it ... man must aspire to unite with god not be emotionally uplifted by that potential ....

I believe God not only sees our sin, but feels every bit of our pain. We are after all made in His image. This was a beautiful write Dawn. I especially like:

exasperated,
God weeps
as all creation
groans.

Wow. Michelle

very intriguing Dawn, Excellent write!I have mixed thoughts on this subject, on the one hand the Bible speaks of Him shedding tears,but also says that since His Son He sees everything thorugh the beauty of what His son accomplished and none of the sin.I tend to believe the latter!
