July 9
-.-:-.-
I am being called
To step out onto the churning water
Feet gliding on the waves
Eyes on Love
I am being called
To release
My grip on this anchor
This boat
That feels so solid
Yet with every wave
Dips deeper under the sea
I am being called to surrender
To the winds
To let them toss and turn me
To dance with these leaves
Free
Untethered
Except by this cord
That connects God to me
My ears yearn and bend to the siren call
My eyes cannot leave
This dazzling beauty
My breath catches
Halts
As I breathe in the intoxicating sweetness
Lips and tongue electrified by its taste
My heart sings
To cast off this cage
To unfurl her golden wings
To take this first, daring step
From her nest
Tumble
Fall
Open
Receive
To feel You, Love
In the winds
In that moment
When she falters
When she loses hope
When she does not believe
To feel You, God
In the winds
Catch her
Maybe before she hits the ground
And Maybe after
That is not for me
To know
That is not for me
To control
My only role
Is to heed Love’s call
To step off the ledge
To pray
For God
To open
To receive
Love
I hear You, God
I surrender to You, Love
I rest in You, God
I am Yours, Love
