Breathe in. Breathe out.


The world is moving, changing, going on, attempting to find out


It’s reason for life


It’s purpose for strive


Seeking to alleviate the crashing tide


Of the weight of the world that it carries inside


Burdensome, heavy, shameful, must hide


Its failures too great and victories too small


A proof of its life being of too much anguish for all.


But wait. 


A distant memory, a fading thought.


A love so deep, drowns out all doubt


Of the shackles and failures bound with disgrace 


As a flash flood of love unchains the mistakes.

  

Life is not something chased after with haste


It’s a love so unfailing and so full of grace.


It’s a sacrifice given from he who remakes.


So breath in. Now breath out.


And this time without the doubt. 


Your shackles are lifted, your burden is free


No longer a slave, your life is made free.
