my need for
Your grace and mercy
draws me higher
and higher
my will to be in Your presence
enormous enough
for me to want to
make it so
but just when my feet
would wish to leave this earth
my departure is stayed
intentions to fly
solidify with love
and understanding-
a small warm hand
slipped upward
fills the space
between my outstretched
hands

JellyFriend~

What a precious, precious reminder that sometimes when we think we don't matter to anyone in this whole wide world ... God sends that little touch to tether us to the love that is here~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

I have SO been there. The hard part is that the hand doesn't necessarily make us want to stay any more, just makes us know that we should.

You said it perfectly. Hang in there... I'm sayin' a prayer for you now.

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows

And there are other reasons... not as small or charming... but needing you, nonetheless. *S* Hugging you for this, my friend. *S*

... my will to be ...

~*~

Sometimes, words within sentences
structure the realization that

what you say around
what you mean
whispers acknowledgment of self,
loudly...

Hugging you, little one...

ok, this is another 'bulk' reply just for lack of one single spare moment, but it does not lack in feeling, and right now I am hugging each and every one of you...I am blessed, by little hands and by precious poets
