again, again, again
Still I tremble
Still I quake
Still my dungeon
Still She shakes
And so it goes
My unshakeable faith
Tested, tested
Again and again
It ebbs and then it flows
The tides, and so they roll
It is your pull
Your pull alone
It is your pull
I will follow
As I’m tested, tested
Again, and again
So the tremble
May it ease
And the quake
May it too cease
Harmony is soon restored
As you passage
Through my core
And all I am
All I do
All I feel
It is all for you
Use me
I am available
Praying it leads me home to you
May I stay close to you
I vow, I pledge, I promise
To always stay close
To you
When the road grows weary
And my faith begins to fray
May you weave your arms around me
So I may never go astray
Even when
I’m tested, tested
Again and again
When the cloak of darkness
Denies my way to you
May your holy light
Obscured from view
May it illuminate
Through and through
And deliver me
Return me
To you
Perhaps I will always tremble
Perhaps I will always quake
Though glory rests assured
These doubts rest in your wake
May my shell be empty
May my bones hollow
May my heart be ready
For your spirit to follow
Use me
I am available
It is because I trembled
It is because I quaked
It is because I questioned
That now I stand
Awake
And no,
You will never leave me
It is I who must remain
As loyal and devoted
To return to you
Again, again, again
lockdown love letter
I admire dancers
Their freedom
Range, and limbs
I envy painters
Their brushstrokes
And their grit
Without oils
And only ink
I pray these words
Will help you drink
From the depths
Of my love
For you
May these words
Glide gently through
The canals
Of your Spirit
And flow freely
To the sea
Of your Soul
Where the canvas
Has no edges
And the colours
Never fade
Where our muscles
Never tire
As we waltz
Through Love’s parade
