The Gospel According To Grief

Lord you said
you are near me 
when my heart is demolished 
by the grief inflicted upon me
in this fractured world

Lord you promised me
that you will turn around 
my tears into olive oil
my hunger into daily bread
my thirst into springs of life
and the One who blesses
the emptiness of my spirit 
for me to see your eternal kingdom
