the simplicity of it all
the ease at which my soul cries out "i need you"
and so desperately i do
Lord, the torment of my ghosts are overtaking
i feel myself becoming weak
falling backwards, dark behind me
my arch pivots on the edge as my heel drops and my toe rises
slowly
ever so slowly
like watching one frame at a time
my arms stretch forward
my fingers extend
my hands reach to grasp at nothing
my eyes widen
my ears close
the sweeping feeling of gravity pulls my chest
my heart suspends
my lips mouth the words "i need you"
i tip my head back and close my eyes
and i drift slowly down like a falling leaf
my arms extend out to my side
my knees come tightly together
i settle into your arms
coming to rest in your embrace
i was so sure that you would be there
i was so sure that you would come through
i don't care how it happened, i just knew you would come
there in brilliant white
you are glowing
shining as the only light in the darkness
for this moment, our eyes meet
for this moment, nothing else matters
for this moment, i can feel that i am yours
my anxieties find their replacements
and your peace comforts my once-laboring and heavy heart
there is no mystery
there is no doubt
there is no surprise
i am comfortably and completely yours
and you, my Lord, are mine
