RELEASE AND RENEWAL
Michelle A. Bartley
07/18/2K

I reach for you through time and space,
A look of pain upon your face,
Where once those eyes would shine so bright,
They seem to hold a tinge of fright.
I slip through walls that don't exist,
And find you hiding in the mist,
Than wonder what your doing here,
When everything's so crystal clear.

You focus now, but not for long,
You seem to think that something's wrong,
That all of this just can not be,
For you will never be set free.
You try to blend into the night,
Can't hide your shadow in the light,
While simple questions come to mind,
Of what it is that you could find.

I place my fingers on your eyes,
Now closed to hide the alibis,
But something's you just can not hide,
My touch reveals the things inside.
I see a troubled, saddened past,
Where love was never meant to last,
When touching flame has left the scars,
And kept you from ethereal stars.

You feel the wetness on your cheek,
You hate those times when you feel weak,
So used to facing things alone,
Biting the bullet to the bone.
Saline drops fall to the floor,
You wonder what you're crying for,
Than quickly feel that flash of fire,
You think you can't reach any higher.

I take you hand it feels so cold,
Revealing the dreams you bought and sold,
The ones you watched fall to the ground,
Where happiness could not be found.
A tremble forms within your grasp,
Yet I hold tightly with the clasp,
Of one who will not walk away,
When there's no words left to say.

You say your work here is not through,
There's so much more you need to do,
So many hearts that must be mended,
Just the way the Light intended,
I say that yes, this may be true,
But it's not solely up to you,
For God's revealed a little more,
Of what this life now holds in store.

So let us walk through desert sand,
Face the creator hand in hand,
Burn a trail that's bound to be,
The one to set our spirits free,
Where others who choose to begin,
To leave behind the corporeal sin,
The place where Love is felt so much,
Beyond the sense of taste and touch.

Let's stand beneath the purging rain,
That most would say is quite insane,
Where skin and bone melt in the flame,
Before the God that has no name,
The living one that's only known,
Through inner chambers that's been shown,
To those who looked internally,
To find the only missing key.

Let's walk before the most divine,
Don't need an omen, or a sign,
We'll bow our heads and say a prayer,
So thankful that we found him there,
We'll feel the power of his grace,
That shines upon our downturned face,
Then feel his presence enter in,
Renewing all we hold within.
