6 years ago we embarked
on a journey
We could not complete
& I say we
Because we both felt
The responsibility bear down
Like a tidal wave
Or a thousand boulders
It rained shame,
Inside my soul
We were just buds
In the flower of one’s youth
& we did our best
To follow our truth.
Pressure affects everyone differently
but I saw it break first you
& then me, too.
We were wound together & yet thrust apart
by circumstance
So intricately complex and bittersweet.
A situation with an outcome
bursting with life, vitality, beauty, & joy
Yet also saturated with heartbreak & grief
How can the human heart contain both extremes,
Simultaneously?
It is paramount in these times
That we continue to challenge the thoughts
But honor the feelings
Acceptance brings healing
& God promises forgiveness
For our brokenness.
We got ourselves in
But we could not get ourselves out
This is what being a christian is all about
6 years ago we got in deep
We embarked on a journey we could not complete
But God keeps us in his hands
We were lost, but he had a plan
I couldn’t
You Couldn’t
But God CAN –
& he did against all odds
My hearts desire has come to be
My soul sings,
For he has set us free
We are pardoned, absolved, released
Now I have joy like a river
Inside of me
