Freedom Embraced

Walking, I see the sun shining brightly

as if it can’t hide its smile.  

It radiates its heat through my hair,

illuminating it.  

___

It taps me on the shoulders,

reminding me that I am loved. 

Hugs me, but freeingly so that I can surrender

in return with arms open wide,

fingers spread like stars flying freely in his presence.  

___

Just like that unforgotten hand held out,

waiting to be recieved

and squeezed to share an embrace.

To be appreciated, for just being.  

___

It touches my teeth that can’t help but reflect it.  

My softly but strongly upturned lips stay,

waiting, waiting, staying.  

How’s it gonna be in perfect intimacy with Him?

___

Inside me energy stirs and burns up.

Then I run and leap.  

O’ the little ones. 

Did you see them too?  

___

They followed, they leapt too.  

O’ did you see when they forgot all insecurity,

forgot any mistakes or hindrances. 

___

Nothing holding them back

they just leapt.

How my soul danced with joy,

seeing living miracles in front of me.  

___

What a blessing, a true blessing

it was to influence a leap of faith.  

To see it outlived.

___

Who am I to receive it?   

Thank you God, thank you Lord.

Thank you Jesus, my best friend.
