When I feel your love (eternity)

When I feel your love

Like a wave moving towards me

Wild seas within the ocean of my heart

And being

Start to churn

When I think of all the ways I tried

Sometimes revealing the fact of how often I lied

To myself

Hoping to keep my heart safe

From harm

Look at the danger I fell into

He told me lies

Was so unkind

And yet I believed

Preying on my need and vulnerability

I was the little child

Heart always open

Willing to trust and believe

Never aware the world could be full of those

Who do not give a care

For emotion, loss or grief

Or anyone else’s need

Will just do anything

To set their own soul free

But still I must travel on

One foot in front of the other

After collapsing in pools of grief

For is this not the way of modern life now

So desperate for connection

We sometimes fall and almost drown

Only to rise

Lifted as if by a greater hand

Above the wild and churning seas

Given if only for a moment

A precious glimpse

Of love, hope

And eternity

Enough to carry us forward

On a new day

Washed clear and clean of so much

We buried from sight

Hidden under the cover

Of illusions
