Can It Be? - A Poem

Can it be?
They say this Man
can heal broken hearts.

It is no small thing
for doctors to set broken bones
and carefully treat illness.

Despite all procedure
and protocol
some are still lost.

The cure for
pains that are hidden
is knowable to none.

The unspeakable,
too painful to codify
with spoken words -

surely this pain
will never leave me:
it can't be articulated.

And yet,
as I live and breathe
He does this and more.

The cancer of my soul
not merely contained
but healed without a scar.
