Yes

Space
Cracks in hard places
Light peeking in
Bringing healing

Come Holy Spirit
Tend my pain
See my need
Help me rest
A child in your arms
Feeling your breath
Your heartbeat penetrating
Arms holding
Slowing

S L O W I N G

Cracks widen
Hard places soften
Losing strength

Power waning
Light streaming
Stained glass radiance
Dancing in my heart

Dare I embrace joy?
Trust love?
Live into hope?

I give you my Yes
