Cracked and Formed

cracked but not mistaken,
flawed even as we're formed,
shaped but not forsaken,
just being - not performed.

broken but still beauty,
secure even though we're weak,
surrender more than duty,
wholeness despite the bleak.

justice with great heart,
good life not confined,
shalom breaking from the part
to all my life refine.

security not a feeling
but a truth that I am known,
dwelling in true healing
known in the belly and the bone.

Note: "belly and the bone" is referring to deep within - impacting the whole "self" It is a title of a booklet we were reading at the time of writing this piece.
