I am surrounded once again
I can hardly take it in
this light that penetrates my very existence
this joy that leaves me without words
I am chosen despite my resistance
despite my habitual shortcomings
despite my choice of distance
I am surrounded with a freedom
I am surrounded by a divine reach
I can hardly catch my breath
this truth that gives me purpose
this love that shatters death
my fears are out of focus
my darkness shrinking back
this peace has overtaken me
this gift given undeservingly
disarming my love starved heart
disregarding my endless wall building
what once was unreachable
is now drawn in close
I am surrounded
by this unexplanable force
and I am undone for eternity
