Ashlie Ariel

 

black and white profile

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have awoken

Gently anxious

Beautifully broken

I have stretched

My slim and sculpted

Arms with

Weak and aching

Shoulders

I have hoisted

My young yet faulty

Beautiful though broken

Aching body

I have lifted

My old and gentle

Bold though graceful

Soul inside me

And within me

All that cries

Is

“Holy, holy

Lord God Almighty.”

And I taste heaven,

Healing, glory  –

I both know and feel –

That these sufferings

Cannot be compared

To the glory that will be

Revealed
