Beautifully Broken

Beautifully Broken I watched her as she stood in line. I heard words that went unspoken. I saw tracks left by her tears, she's been so beautifully broken. Was it a long long time ago? I really cannot say. Was it someone that she loved that turned and walked away? Was it some distant memory that somehow haunts her still? Or had her poor heart been betrayed that almost broke her will. It's not the things her heart's been through or tragedy she's faced. It's not some distant shattered dream or things she can't erase. The feeling that I get from her is like hearing prayers she prayed. I know what I'm seeing now is in a choice she made. She could have let her heart grow cold, turned her back on God above. Instead she chose to live again. Instead she chose to love. The beauty of a broken heart as far as I can see. It's in the choice to rise again that's so beautiful to me Edwin C Hofert
