I count the years of patience you gave me
As I sat inside these walls
Too afraid to look out into the world
“Don’t ask me to change,”
I said,
“I like it in here.”
And you waited . . .
“Can’t you see me?”
I wondered
“Pressed between these walls so tight
You’d wonder how I got here
And so I’ll tell you . . .
I grew up in here
I grew into the space
Until the size of me
Filled the space to bursting
And still…
You let me have my time without question
And now,
With wall exploded
Crumbled into a thousand pieces
A million pieces
To dust, in fact
No,
Less than dust!
With no walls left
Where does that leave me?
Illuminated
Suffused in light
Green
Luminescent
Light of
Life
I’m standing tall
In the light of life
Because you chose to love me
Without end
You chose to love me without end
Without (From the) beginning
And on
Into the millennia
To the expanses of the universe
With all its time and space
Enough to fill it all
With me in the midst of it
All the way up to this very moment in time
And I thank you for it
Allow me to thank you for it”
Amen ~
Love, love,love this.
