Never knew flight could feel so good

Only in my flying dreams

letting go

letting go

lifting, lighter than air

unencumbered updrafts carry me

cajole me

dare me higher and higher

till tizzied and tantalized by the

wild, weightless, wonderful of it all

I abandon into this avian flow

and wonder...

what was I waiting for?

Homeward Bound Beggar

At Amazing Grace's Door

Beaten

Bedraggled

Bewildered

Barely hoping for Haven...

So ill equipped am I

naked, exposed

utterly at Your Mercy

My only hope of Home...

Crouching,

Cold wind whips around me

this frozen, fallen form

So small against this life

defenseless,

defeated,

but still, I knock...

A fool's hope to hear

what my ears say they hear--

--not the harsh, begrudging, faltering footfall

of the Master torn from sleep,

but Running

and a pounding Heart

and my name I'd nearly forgotten

being breathlessly called

The Door is not cracked

but Flung Open

And He is upon me,

A Coat-of-Many-Colors

Covering me

Cloaking me

Drowning out my protests of unworthiness

Enfolding me

Engulfing me

Till i am hidden

Till all is Him

and I am ushered in

The Door is shut against the night

which concedes defeat,

once again retreats,

falling away,

felled by triumphant Day

And I am Home.
