Stand in the field
Arms wide open
Don’t curl up, anesthetized.
Filling the cracked and broken heart
with lipgloss,
movies,
and religion.
Stand at the water’s edge
and trust-fall into the icy emerald pool.
“Put your hand into my wounds”
And know who I am.
The Valley of Achon, of Trouble, becomes the Door of Hope.
Risen from the water,
the wounds remain.
But we are no longer alone with them.

What a powerful corruption of the Trinity! Those lines really got me thinking. How often do we plug religion into the Trinity and remove the Holy Spirit.
