You said "follow me"
And I inclined my heart to letting you draw me away
From from the refuge of my invulnerability
While you came to me
Like a thief in the night
to steal away
The heaviness of my heart
That I may test again the waters of presence
Can I let myself drown in them this time?
Does trust demand that i walk on water?
Tasting this moment
Without a taste left in my mouth
Laying behind the old news for the new ones
Seeing you for the first time every time
Falling
Falling
Falling
Into this luminous instance of your divine company
Rising
Rising
Rising
From the lingering heart
And its sullen gaze back
That leaves me to be a pillar of salt
That has lost its savor
Salt me with fire
Set my awareness ablaze
Of the love the moment holds
That holds the moment
Waiting patiently for my embrace again
Like the love after the fight
How much sweeter is home to my prodigal heart
