Grace Follows Faith by ~btrunks4:iconbtrunks4:



People have asked you time and again
Why you've never left them alone?
So it's no surprise that we're all waiting by your side
letting you collect yourself
Rest your head, waste away your would be worries
If you could be here, I know that you would be
I know that you're watching in your own way
Looking on from a distance that you've grown accustomed to

Your faith always rattles the cages of the impossible
Shaking the mountains of disbelief that block the light of your love
Everything passes by your way
You can't stand still any longer when your body isn't willing to be left behind
When the mind is willing and the body's on break
How do you pass the time that fills your never-ending days?
Do you let your faith lift you from where you should be laying?

You're the only one that wears this strength so fittingly
Your silence is deafening when your will is so loud
You whisper and it speaks volumes
Your insight never lets me come back down
When your grace carries my faith to a place that only you can take it
You've done all this in the span of a lifetime

You lost your time
Laying back taking on the pain
Looking back you were looking forward to this
But nothing's what it seems even with your eyes closed
Taking in this situation as you take in each and every breath
Life exhales and inhales with no certainty of returning
You're dying to let me know the way you feel
Communication is but a bridge and words are just one of many ways to cross it
Blink once if you hear me
Blink twice if you can still see through me
Close your eyes at my embrace if you still feel the same as I do
Freedom comes with patience, so let me wait with you
Move on when you're ready and I'll follow close behind

It's the little things that keep me going right now.
I've been waiting to see someone that I haven't seen in a long time.
She never really left, but I miss her presence all the same since we haven't talked in a while. I don't know how she does it, but she's stronger than I'll ever be.

I feel a little light *_*.
I was actually filled with alot of anxiety when I was reading this.
Because I'm hoping and I was whispering so hard in my head, that whatever is happening in your life, things are doing ok.
I like the poem, it made me think of me aunt in a good way.

Hell I'm filled with anxiety every time I breathe.
Writing calms me, I'm just being choosy with what I post these days.

Em-C breathe easy for now.......one of us has to.
