You Are

No matter

The feelings

You Are

Broken

Battered

Shattered

Bruised

Broken, ill-used

Still

You are

Your constancy

Astounds me

Bewilders me

Yet somehow

I find healing

A way to carry on

Feelings ebb and flow

Come and go

Love, pain, anguish, woe

Up and down they go

Yet still You Are

When praise is far

Thanksgiving all that can be managed

I look at You

You look at me

As no matter what and who I am

You Are

As you have always been

The answer

To unsaid words

And prayers

Unshaped by a voice

Uttered in silence

By a human heart

Questions, longing, find their peace

In the knowledge

That You are
