Falling Arms
Stretch forth those pierced hands
To grasp my own
For I am lost
So alone
Without the touch
Of the sacred
Grasping
For the divine
My hands fall
Empty
Tired,
I let them fall
Surrender
Defeated
By my own hubris
Yet
I hear you call
Echoing deep
In my soul
The cavern
Where I dwell
Safe
From the judgement
Of an angry, shattered world
You bid me follow
The hollow
World holds no attraction
To me
All I want
Is to be here
With you
Where I come from
And where
One day
At the close of my eyes
I will return
Speak to me
In the pattering rain
The joy of the chattering sparrow
The dance of the curling breeze
Blowing papers down an empty street
Remind me
I am more
Than the sum of my days
My heart
Belongs to the divine
For I am divine breath
In human form
Love, walking on this earth
So often, I hide
Afraid
Alone
My light
Hidden
When I want to run
Bid me run to you
When I want to hide
Let me do so in your embrace
Shelter under your wing
And find rest
I know I still
Have to journey through this world
But remind me
That I can come
And rest
In You
