feeling brittle
    in the cold
feeling brittle
    feeling old
feeling brittle
    and alone

what softens?
what loosens?
what eases?

the sun
    and the Son

your words
    and Your Word

breath
    Breath of heaven

love and Love

Isaiah 40:11
       He tends his flock like a shepherd:
       He gathers the lambs in his arms
       and carries them close to his heart;
       he gently leads those that have young.
