My heart is open
Can’t you see
So breathe your breath
Inside of me
Sing into my mouth
a new song
That I can hum
all day long
I am empty
I am weak
Here I am
Kiss my cheek
Sensitive to your touch
Ready for your light
Waiting for The Word
To give me sight
What is vulnerability
If not weakness?
What is fragility
If not my design?
What is neediness
If not the place
Inside of me
Ready for grace
And ready for peace
Dare I
Look down
And ignore
The sound
Of your loud singing?
Dare I
Look away
And pretend
Not to notice
Your beauty?
Dare I
Surrender
And choose faith
Letting you take me
Where you may?
I am yours
And you are mine
Let this poem
Be my psalm
Repeated truth
Found within
Questions I have
Answers I seek
“What thou will”
“When thou will”
“How though will”
Like Newton, I repeat
So…Let the storms
Over me roll
To lay me down
And cleanse my soul.
Roll away the stone
From my heart
And give me today
A brand new start.
