Sand Dollar

April 3, 2010

Buffeted by ocean tumult
Crucified on timeless beach
Buried by storm and sand
Risen whole
Exposed by tide
Bleached by sun
Carried home as talisman
Lesson in adversity

Delicate
as baby’s breath
Brittle
as old woman’s bone
Weightless
as Christ’s presence
Powerful
as confessed weakness

Flawless flower
etched on orb
Hollow center
cradles dove
Strength in weakness
Christ in me
His grace
sufficient

I love this poem.
Delicate as baby’s breath, Brittle as old woman’s bone. . . What wonderful images!
