I met a man


After Isaiah 65:17-25

I met a man from
a faraway place,
his eyes tired and
his shoulders dropped
with burdens cast upon him,
a young man who had seen
too much and not enough,
trapped between hope
and despair, I met a man
from a faraway place, eyes
filled with pain and hurt,
and I told him hope
exists, it’s coming as
in the promise, and the image
in the mirror cracked
and spoke back to me.
