God’s Embrace

broken colours bleeding unrestrained,
my restless doubt still left uncontained,
searching in the bleakness of my boast,
pride's flame making peace a fading ghost.

mercy's dance forgotten in my rush,
drifting shadows bruising in the crush,
shame weighing heavy on my resolve,
love's embrace beginning to dissolve...

healing grace nailed to a rugged tree,
transforming harsh into lasting glee,
searching in the kindness of God's heart,
love's flame making doubt and self depart.

mercy's dance embraced through surrender,
nourished in the beauty of God's splendour,
shame released by accepting favour,
His embrace I begin to savour.
