Clearwater beach was not only beautiful but was also fascinating. The sand caught my attention almost immediately as it was filled with broken pieces of shells and corals. The broken pieces reminded me of the brokenness in our own fragile human lives, so desolate and hopeless without the one who calls us to Him.
Here’s a poem I wrote as a reflection:
Broken shells call out to broken people.
Unfulfilled dreams and ambitions,
Singing out futile renditions,
Loneliness and complex relationships,
The burden of past mistakes grips,
Broken promises and hopelessness,
Each fleeting moment so meaningless,
Full of envy and strife,
Washed to shore by the waves of life.
But there’s one who can restore,
There’s one who gives life galore,
Where ashes turn to a garment of praise,
Where the broken are given wonderful grace.
