falling.
tearing through clouds as the ground grows closer.
moments.
till i reach the end.
helpless.
since nothing is holding me.
i held my breath as i felt my heart breaking
no way back now.
you know in those moments
your were lost in the blindness
when all was shaken
you had nothing to hold
i thought there were miles until i would reach the bottom
but now the edge of my cliff seems so far away
what would i not give to take back these moments
what would i hold back to start breathing again
but just as i closed my eyes
and counted my last heartbeats
as i said my final goodbye to the earth i called friend
i felt something catch me
soft gentle hands
i stopped falling
and began rising
a gravity that pulled me
up towards the skies.
past the clouds that felt my terror
above the mountain from which i fell
until the stars glittered like snowflakes
and the galaxies could fit in my hands.
suddenly
my heart was unraveling
i saw my existence in the undone
there among the stars
were all my pieces
all the loneliness i once called home.
and out of the darkness
a soft gentle a smile
two eyes that shone brighter than suns
the hands that once caught me
were now holding
a new, beautiful heart
love was its oxygen
hope was the blood that ran through its veins
no touch could be sweeter
no promise more assuring
no smile more healing than his
no hands could be stronger
no love could be wilder
no gift could be greater
no word could be wiser
no presence more constant
no friendship more loyal
no father is kinder
no king shows more mercy
no hand holds tighter than his
no voice sings more beautifully
no love song so intimate as the one sung to me
for you
he says as he gives the heart to me
you're free, my child.
tell me.
how many tears fill up an ocean
how many bright smiles shine in the sun
what kind of beauty keeps stars twinkling
what peace blows in the wind
what breath lives in the stillness
what strength dwells in a forest
what courage keep waves raging
what peace floats the clouds in the sky
what a world
oh how i wish i could tell you
all this beauty exists for your eyes
why do you hide
as if i cannot see you
why do you run
as if the ends of the earth are not mine
come
you are not falling
rest
you no longer run
sleep
you will be cradled
smile
here you are loved
heal
a heart has been gifted
dance
wild and free
sing
the whole earth will hear you
laugh
joy lives in me
you are my beauty
an inspiration for my song
welcome, my baby
to the family of love
