i am still trying to catch my breath
since your words seem to have placed it
some where else
i keep looking for it
but it is gone
escaped
my heart tried to hold on
with out the breath needed
it is beating differently
and smiles cover my soul
tears that do fall from my eyes
fall from joy
as your words seek to heal old wounds
and tear down bridges that were never mean to be built
your words erase guilt of pass decisions
made in haste
and time that I have wasted seems irrelevant
as your words bathe me in hyssop
and anoint me with oil
and smiles cover my soul
as things i have yet to see in me
you speak of so confidently
birthing self realization in me
through the touch of your words
and courage is left on my heart's doorstep
just from your words sliding in
and making a home for themselves
making a way to my heart's shelf
and dusting away old hurts with soothing
and i find it hard to believe you see so much in me
yet your words rest convincingly
inside the walls of my being
and smiles cover my soul
