When I rise

When I rise
full of love
for life and laughter
and the me that I am
love will meet me...

when I rise above my own neediness
fears
and frustrated tears
and allowed myself to be warmed by the Son
love will shine on me...

When I rise
past prayerlessness
desperate hopes
sleepless nights
and wondering why I'm alone
love will wrap me in its arms...

when I rise
beyond sacrificing who I am
mistreating my heart
and giving my affections
too freely to the ungrateful...

when I rise
above
accepting scraps
when i crave for a whole slice of cake
reaching for carrots
that are merely mirages of together forever accepting another's rejection
as validation of my undesirability...

when I rise
oh when I rise above it all
my wings will carry me
to a place called faith and deliverance
a place where
the lies whispered in the dark
must flee
in the face of such intense light...

for this is place
where God is
and love dwells
for God and love are the same...
and as I rise even higher
chains snapping from my heart
my mind
my soul
I soar even higher
carried on the wings of love itself...

yes I rise
and love kisses me deeply
ever so sweetly
and whispers
I'm home...
