refuge & hope

There’s a sense of safety here
A genuine feeling of calm
And ease.
Where before there was fear
Now there’s peace.
Courage to move forward
Excitement to understand you
To breathe you in
To learn the things that make you, you

There’s a sense of hope here
An encouraging feeling of wonder
And readiness.
Where before there was insecurity
Now there’s confidence.
Yearning to be understood
To let you breathe me in
To reveal the things that make me, me

Where before there was chaos
Now there is tranquility.
There is something I haven’t discovered
Something waiting on the horizon
Growing, shifting in the air,
The pulse of something greater.
I feel it, I sense it

And if it is you who brings this,
I pray you are ever near.
Because this feeling,
this steadiness in my soul,
I never want to be without it again.

There’s refuge and hope here.
I feel no fear.
