Broken Down House
Shards of window glass
shimmer
in weed-strewn sod.
Roof shingles
clap
with the wind,
a spontaneous ovation
for
the dwelling
that once was.
With creaking voices,
dark halls
repeat
long-gone conversations.
Too much
decay,
too much
damage;
violent elements
have disrespected
the carpenter’s
dream.
The sagging-porch frown
tells a painful story
of beauty shattered.
All that’s left
is a
broken-down house.
To Consider:
• When you see the evidence of sin’s curse in the world, what is your response?
• Do you complain about the world or cry out to God? Do you long more for short-term fixes or eternal paradise?
