glow

 
your voice echos through time
I feel your gentle force upon my soul
and I know you are with me
naked in my vulnerability arms spread wide
I know you inside me

gentle grace watch over me
trouble the pain and watch as it tells all
while my small faults fall away and my big sins leave scars
there is honesty in the hurt

greet me in my solemness
and tell me it will be okay
that I never again have to be alone
holding on to my shame

I'm proud today
taking things with stride
not losing my kindness
she smiles on my horizons
a friend to the those in the cold
tenderness is her keeper
I came into things
a know it all
I leave off ready for the journey

the slow opening of the mind
that glows with understanding
