I am scared.
I know how to walk,
but my feet
are full of fear.
I can see the horizon,
yet I keep looking back
searching, one endlessly last time,
for the softness
that I longed for
but never found.

My heart breaks,
again,
and again
i summon all the courage
that my confused soul can find
and command my feet
to be brave.

Oh soul,
Oh heavy sad soul,
your tears somehow
mean nothing to me,
your pain,
I've ignored,
your suffering,
I'm deaf too,
your life,
i give to others.

Oh little man,
come home.
Please stay.
Don't let me leave you again.

We can do this together,
see the truth,
grieve for each other.

I am standing on the edge..
again.

The edge can be a teetering place, Billy. Praying that you will jump - cos God is just waiting to catch you, but He can't push! He's done His part, He's paved the way, now He's patiently waiting for you.
