In my heart, I knew not to expect much
I knew this journey- would be arduous
By choice, by necessity, by blinding faith
But being found by a pure love often is
I knew each step would seem impossible
Maybe until I fell into her arms- literally
But still, I had to take it, I had find out
After all, what was their to lose except
More of the same unwanted nothingness
That littered all my daily hours anyway?
How would being loveless any different
Than accepting every faux replacement?
Many will suggest and normalize settling
For nearly anything much less: sabotage
The taxing road would test my integrity
Even if only I- myself would really know
Whether or not, I maintained my dignity
I’ve fallen pray many of times in hopes
Being subjected to dishonesty, repeatedly
Battered emotionally, subjected to more
Ridicule, temptation for the more lessor
More conventional way of daily living
But I’ve persevered by the grace of God
Most times within my own set confusion
To have nothing to offer but love- itself
Would take great deal of courage of trust
I must admit, what real journey compares?
Can you image the woman who does dare?
It's not for the faint of heart, that for sure
But, being found by a prayer is… priceless

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths
