A Broken Soul & A Promise

From homeless to blessed, this man's steps are divinely ordered.

Dignity lost with memories,
those physical reminders of
good and bad times gone by,
jilted by today's poverty.

The broken soul, a leftover turkey.
Failures never seem to cease.
He wanders aimlessly and hides amongst the shadows.

Sanity in limbo, demonic forces
pursuing a mind separated,
a man shamefully teetering
on the fence of right and wrong.

Judgmental tongues wickedly waltz
with an evil foreboding.
A chortle from satan who peers nearby.
He presumes his victory, turns away.

Unseen angels wait and watch him.
They prepare his heart and the
way to escape pain and emptiness.
New life suddenly strikes him.

Mustard seed faith, everyday growing.
Unseen angels protect and guide him.
A breakthrough, amazing,
dawn of success.

Fireflies glitter against the blackened night.
