For Day 1 of Week 1 of the #LiveLent devotional for Lent.

***
Bless our broken
and our breaking,
these bodies creaking
beneath the pressure
of a living daily eked out.
Bless our riven hearts
in all their parts, strewn
as it were along the paths
we once trod in hope.
Let light,
by your speaking
bring peace
Let our shattered things
be whole again
let hope with light
spring, again.
