Redemption – A Time for Us

\"Photo

 

I lay in my bed wondering when he stopped

Relating to life. Exactly when was his innocence

Taken from him.

I remember him free, loving, open and giving.

It was that freedom that drew me to him……

with him there was openness, there were limitless

possibilities.

 

He left me because I couldn’t commit to him totally.

Buried deep in my “stuff” he ran from me

Trying to find something to satisfy that longing.

He masked his emptiness and found solace in a

Drink, in a drug….taking him further from me.

 

I loved him then but I couldn’t tell him. I wanted

Him then and selfishly I took – never fulfilling

His needs.

So he became silent – vanishing from my world –

Checking out, seeking acceptance in things

That only dragged him down further into that

Place where no one could find him.

Not reaching out – being content to be in that

Dark place

 

Paths never crossing, lives being destroyed, chasing

Dreams that he pushed further and further away

From himself. Building barriers.

 

It’s about learning to live all over again, to really

See things as they are. It’s about not succumbing

To those desires that bind him – never setting him free.

 

He took that step, putting one foot in front of the other

Finally realizing that the human will to live and God’s

Grace is much stronger, much more powerful then

Any temporary “feel good” that sucks the life

Out of you.

 

A world away I reached out, not knowing what I was

Reaching for or why. His spirit dissipating the time

lost – beautiful, alive!!!

His hand warm to the touch.

To be found is a beautiful thing.

Placing the missing link back in the chain,

being made whole……. redemption!!!!

and I too believe this is our time!
