The sky seems bigger these days,
trees and knees humble beneath
what isn’t actually infinite.
This grand moon, small to You,
mystery to me ~
how the sun still lights us
when it’s unseen,
how You are everywhere
everything
but still uncommon.
Haunt me.
I’m weary of forgetting,
given to lesser & lesser versions
of You.
Peel away skin of a faithless lover,
layers upon layers over original intent,
unkept promises,
dried & unbending tears.
Bring the coal, burn away
shame hidden between my molars,
fear stuck between tongue & cheek.
Sing me awake with Your love song
breathed into the winds
that move the sea,
these lungs, these dreams ~
like a seed carried into life
on just the whisper of a breeze,
move me.
