Bars

Though you may fall and fall
through the bars of memory,
hitting at moments, going back and down

Though you may feel
striped beyond redemption,
branded by the light and dark,
strobed to instability

You cannot fail.
This is not about you —
it’s about your Maker,
and your Maker knows you whole.
