I think I found forward again
faced
with fifty five fears
dismal
and dreary
dark disillusioned and
weary
You are rearing me
up
mothering
me
how I long
for Your love laced
around the hem of my garment
illuminating my darkened
skin
listening to thin romantic
songs
and coming in between
the notes
amidst the nights I
never
saw coming
within the weeks I wasted
running
there’s something funny
about
Your gaze
nonchalant and neverending
spilling anew with candystick grace
raising me
from the grave You left in haste
a million days ago
with
Your
rebirthing ways
a
wave of regeneration swept over me like
life-giving water
expelled from Your motherhood
I am
someone again
out of Your “Always Someone”
out of eternity’s
breast
the glassy sea of revelation
green with life
teeming with celebratory
joy
of generations streaming
to
Your
light
the nations Your offspring
mingle
with
misty angels
and answer with offerings
of blue tides
their
tears the
silver tinsel strolling down
like diamonds
from their
souls
they are not pushing up daisies
they are roses
dipped in
gold
they
are only Yours
only
Yours
we are only Your souls.
