Re-Vealed - Apr 20, 2011

When you know someone
Really KNOW them
and they know you
For decades
And you know all the
Wonder and Light
They carry in their Heart
And they are the one you
Run to
When darkness Swallows you whole
And you’ve Played with
their Inner Child
And also seen up Close the
demons they’ve Danced with
And how God Himself
Has Kissed their soul
When you’ve Watched them
Walk on water
And you’ve walked through Hell together
and come out the Other Side

and
then
they
leave
you

It hurdles you right back There
Plunging through endless Grief
Alone
Like Swimming in mercury
Fumbling blindly through
paralyzing Regret
Over things left Unsaid, un
Done
It Renders you helpless and
Handicapped
Seeing them in Signs
and Symbols
all smeared Together
In a cloudy, confusing Abyss
Dwelling in Shadow
Shrouded in Mystery



……..
My Faith tells me that
You’re ok
And that you’re
with Him
But I wish I could SEE
Exactly where you went
What you Look like now
Whole and full of Grace
Even more Magnificent
Than you Were down here
They say living through your Senses
Is senseless
But when I Close my eyes
I can feel your Skin
And I see your Eyes
Brilliant Blue, cutting through Steel
Through Me
And I can hear your deep, Sweet voice

"Don’t do this to yourself, Kim.
Don’t do it.
Let me go.
Be happy for me.”
