an unguarded heart

an unguarded heart
caught in the flesh
wanting to be faithful
but falling asleep

unprepared for the Enemy
the attacks of Satan
caught unawares
asleep in the garden

we are fragile, easily shattered – v3

Like an imperial Fabergé egg, lost, discovered,
we are oh so beautiful, treasures, one of a kind;
we are intricate creations, of the earth;
we are fragile, easily shattered,
clay in the hands of the Potter;
we are brash, bold, independent,
lurching forward, our hearts unguarded,
at times without thinking;
we fall, we are broken, exploded,
falling to the ground, shattered;
we are gathered, placed,
into the hands of the Potter.
