5.19.18

at the end
 
of the rope
 
in the midst
 
of the sea

Your love
 
seeking me
 
oh, me?
 
oh. me.

wave after
 
wading
 
for so long
 
you call
 
out deeper
 
wave after
 
goodbye
 
stepping
 
away
 
breaking
 
the day
 
shaking
 
away
 
all fear
 
all
 
gone
 
maybe
 
one day
 
gone
 
soon?
 
one day
 
gone

what if
 
today
 
why not
 
today
 
make it
 
all it can
 
He can
 
I can't
 
ragdoll
 
bruising
 
with every
 
passing
 
can't hold
 
a candle
 
to the Son

but that
 
Sun shines
 
bright
 
enough
 
that light
 
reflects
 
off this
 
bumpy
 
inadequate
 
surface
 
that I
 
might be of
 
service

oh, I?
 
I only
 
try
 
try
 
try


I don't know what it is
 
but I know I'm in it with all my heart.
 
I don't know where it's going
 
but I know I can run (sometimes).
 
I don't know
 
if you feel low
 
but know that
 
every ache
 
every scar
 
every wondering
 
where you are
 
is only one more
 
mark to spark
 
into life
 
another
 
breath -
 
take it.
 
and I,
 
with you,
 
will breathe
 
too.
