PAPER PILLAR POEMS

i gather these words as
stones collected from the
hard places i’ve traveled

tiny memorials of His creative work in me
i compile them upon blank pages
to stand as wide-eyed witnesses
to the presence of my God

every line, my testimony
to this breath i live by
every verse
evidence of an empty tomb

it is His grace inked and stained
on my fragile paper heart
these words stand because of Him

these lovely paper pillars
calling out to those lost in the darkness
come and see the great things He has done

where would i be without this Light
