Vessels

There is no perfection.
These bodies are not our own.
We are not forsaken;
yet, we sail alone.

Adrift, we are vessels
who must be broken to see
great light spill forth into
deep of night’s dark sea.

Ships with sails tattered, torn,
we think our journey is done;
in fact God says that we’ve
only just begun.

Wonderful and uplifting verses, Dawn... like the wind-driven tilt of the tide. Sail on with the winds of vision stitching together your tatters! Love this, TY K xx

Hmmm, is she lying? Saying I have the perfect body.

Indeed we have just begun, valid points made..
