Thump-thump
Thump-thump
Thump-thump
Breathe

No longer deafened
By the sound of misfit affections
Lessons
Learned
Have taught my heart to listen

My ears hear words which
Charm the forsaken
Transcripts
Taken
Have trained my soul to read between the lines

Pouring through me
The pulse of life intensely
Delivers
Verily
Perspectives of survival laced in beauty

The message relayed clearly
It isn’t wrong because it’s ugly
Everyone
Sees
From their own point of reality

Find your truth
Mine fell off and ran loose
Life
Unraveled
So I could come undone at the end of the noose

Thump-thump
Thump-thump
Thump-thump
Breathe

Had the wind knocked out
When the crash came about
Soul
Survived
Arose from the depths to the chosen route

No longer blind
Smiling tears fall down the line
Eyes
Blur
As they gaze upon the grace of the Divine

Blessed be the pure of heart
Lest busied minds their will impart
Be
Still
And slow yourself to start

Refuge knows no weakened wall
When He rescues his daughter’s call
Father
Come
And take me up; suffuse me with your All

Wrapped within an angel’s song
I feel the light of Heaven’s dawn
Heal
Release
And feel it beat ever so strong…
