Follow the Cry

I wake up

wanting everything that I know that I cannot have…

the assurance that everything will be okay -

the promise of tomorrow.

And I just scream in silence, and -

I just want the battle to begin…

Let the rain pour in cascades,

wear me down, wash everything away -

let holy oils melt the shadows

And then let the rain break, completely shatter me -

don’t let the dust settle -

I am running through the fence -

catching my breath only in the distance - raising another crescendo of a cry

I will never give up -

take any piece of me…

We are in quiet time

It’s here

And I’m going to keep calling out…

AMEN.
