The waters parted for you.
Split in two
Right down the path home, and you came back.
Came right.
Came around to who was waiting.
*
I waited.
*
The fire to burn you,
Never touched.
Never singed.
And you walked right through the flame
To me.
*
*
I gave the world -
All its cares and wares.
I gave it all to gather you up from the corners.
You came, you keep coming,
And it's worth it.
*
Doubt and fear crouch
On stealthy haunches along the way,
And they say it's in vain -
The way you strain,
The way you pull against the grain and the warp of this life, this death.
*
But you do.
*
And I wait but also,
I am with you. I am for you. I am in you.
And together in one yoke,
Together in one soul,
We pull a lighter load.
*
