pulse quickens as emotions take their time organising themselves
brave soul lets my mind remember as I wait for wisdom's gift
weighing the wounds and counting the blessings, I welcome journey's shift
deep throngs of chorus echo in the chamber of my being, I discover myself
I define who I am and who I am not and decide who I want to be in each now
where time serenades tiny dreams with fancy joys and they dare adorn my face
I await the woman I long to be in her completeness and her grace
each night unwraps the stars I hold as treasures in this life
calm mornings invite refreshing light I keep in tender grip
learning to unfold the barriers I have entertained within my core
I break the ties that bind me down and dare to dance once more
woven truths touch my lips as they take their first breath
unveiling myths I once believed, I learn to run again
knowing pain births refined perspective, I take another breath
and in the expanding I release the forgiveness I trust has set me free
I continue to cherish the skin I am in while wrapped in selfless gaze
my soul is stripped of pride as my heart hears beloved voice
white washing fear that has kept me lost, a clean slate abounds
I shed my shoes and dive right in where Saviour's song resounds
