Render-rent stem from which scent erupted,

Parallels my soul, corrupted,

Whose save-soul beauty is God-granted fragrance,

And it is the essence

Of a spirit-sigh released from sin’s groping roots.

    I love this, Heather. Beauty from brokenness is becoming the lens through which I see the world. And I love how poetry gives the freedom to paint with words!

    1. Thank you so much, Gracie! I tried to write a poem similar in style to one of my favorite poets, Gerard Manley Hopkins. You should check him out!
