“Devotion” by Megan Black

 

  

 

Devotion

 

A simple word;

Three syllables of

...complicated

.......baggage

Leftover from

the time before.

Daily devotion,

a life lived by core tenants

I never knew I needed...

Until You.

Hammer to anvil,

shadows and slime

squeezed from the chest

of a girl broken

one

too

many

times...

Devotion

picked up the pieces

the wind tried

to whip away.

Honoring You

In life,

In love,

In my child,

In my day,

In my work,

In my breath,

In my heart...

Until my last breath

whisks me away

to that liminal space;

Land and Sea and Sky

come together

where You wait.
