Habilin
I entrusted my fragile heart
into your harmless hands.
Thus, I learned the antonym
of the word harmless.

That’s an attractive image of the sea striking the breakwater. The words are dramatic, too–more so. The antonym of harmless. Uh-oh. Painful discovering, sister.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Thank you for another insightful comment, brother. I chose that image as I somehow related it to the antonym of harmless. It’s as if the revelation is as rough and angry as the sea waves. 🙂
Thank you, brother!

“[R]evelation is as rough and angry as the sea waves.” Yes, it is. The revelation of God can be rough–say, when God’s angel pulled Abraham’s knife away from his son. That was rough, though it was certainly good. You’re on to a great truth here, sister.
