Conquest
These inner distances,
constructed
as armour agains pain,
were judiciously layered
over years.
Christ's love
was held captive,
to be shared
in prudent measure.
Dust gathered,
muting echoes
from empty inner corners.
Through you,
God has shattered
this careful armour -
seared the dust,
and cracked
the un-just measures.
Restored
into His light
I am vulnerable
once more.
