~Behind My Breath~

You wait on sorry
I wait on Forgiveness
Bruised and broken
Changed and forgotten

Yet between this truth and past despair
There is a space that isn’t there
Behind my breath
Within your grasp
Where you cover and heal
Where eternal forgiveness is real

Still this blank page, words won’t fill
Beyond my faith, this pain stands still
I wait on sorry
You wait on forgiveness

Out of these ashes
Out of this pain
I will pull from the wreckage
I left myself in

Your whispers of hope to keep going on
Finding your hand to continue strong

I let you in
To be what I am not
To fix what I have broken
And find what I have lost

No longer I wait
Moving past and beyond
Through your moving spirit
Through your healing song

You are perfection
What I strive to be
That perfect grace note
Sung within me

i read this and thought of a fun-house mirror. at first i saw one thing, but as i looked further i saw another. this did that, i felt one way at first but as i read my emotion reversed. i think i know what i might be saying here. oh well, nice write.

I love that third to last stanza...especially, but the whole moves with paradox or contradictory exchanges... like one is where the other always was, but never is... I think, I get some sense of redemption at the end... very nice!
