The Divine Healer

 She despises the spotlight but secretly aches in isolation.

In her desperate furtive attempts of disguise,

she disfigures her identity with the enemies’ lies.

She gasps for a smidgen of breath as she hesitates to set her bed of memories ablaze.

In her pirated moments of intentional quietness,

she daydreams of God’s promises for a pain free tomorrow.

She comes from a robust lineage of matriarchal warriors.

“Survival of the fittest,” her soul’s familiar mantra.

In her confined anguish and outward rebellion, God abruptly sends a word of comfort and meticulously closes her visible wounds to a microscopic afterthought.

Now, when she speaks of the former imprisoned chains, it’s a daily testament of how God’s grace and mercy sets the wounded captives free.
