Coveting more sorrow
then you'll ever know
yet saved along the way
by a few kind souls

Pulling the drowning,
Penniless,
Lifeless,
tattered spirit afloat

Please tell me what I owe
I am here, Alive
overwhelmed with love and hope

A soothing breath
a moments rest
before the clattering storm
again carries me on
through the gilded horizon

Forever in debt
in your hands
of faith
and reflective grace

Never sauntering away
faltering
or gawking with aimless curiosity

I have been moved to see
those who work the light of the earth-
effortlessly
