Taking each moment
breath by breath
leaving my old life
assuming the new.
I don’t deserve this
death was my closest friend
embraced by a moment
found by the light.
Cold, lost and empty
now standing up right.
Could we be salvaged?
Could we be saved?
Hanging by a thread
my soul in the grave…
But you come to me
when I had nothing else
But you lifted me
when I was drowning
I was going down.
Confronting my demons
facing my shame
retracing my shadows
for much I’m to blame…
Yet your light falls on me
Binding all of sorrows
soaking up my broken mess
joy becomes me
joy infiltrates all that I am
penetrating my defenses
and redeeming this lost and lonely soul…
this is redemption
from darkness into light.
