broken



in the midst of a broken moment -
in the space of a broken hour
in the width of a broken day - in the depth of a broken week
in the expanse of a broken month -
in the gulf of a broken year
in the eternity of a broken life

don't try to fix this again on your own,
don't try to patch or repair what's been done,
don't limp along with self-wisdom alone,
healing comes when the spirit is whole
healing comes let the spirit be whole

in the grasp of a broken hand - in the limp of a broken leg
in the bosom of a broken breast - in the brace of a broken heart
in the crack of a broken smile - in the pain of a broken emotion
in the eternity of a broken life

don't try to fix this again on your own,
don't try to patch or repair what's been done,
don't limp along with self-wisdom alone,
healing comes when the spirit is whole
healing comes let the spirit be whole
