his name applied to mine

a face, a shell
stuck in one position

a smile with a hollow space behind.
words, a recording
that pours forth through the air

and echoes in the spaces... empty.

behind the visible,
remnants of anger, bitterness,
resentment and disgust...

changed only by the grace
of an ever-forgiving God
slowly converting all emotions
into the completeness of love
gently filling the hollow and cracking the shell
of counterfeit into genuine sincerity.
