Hanging on

I don't want this day to end

This day that is still yesterday

I yearn to give myself

to the waiting arms of sleep

but bid you leave my memory whole

here in my shimmering body

of this day the veil thinned

and I was kissed

or swept away

by God Herself

who found a way

to powerfully say

No, not that way

It's not the end

It's just begun

Hang on

Have faith

She's coming

the you you have been waiting for

the loving soul who sent the call

She's nearly here

You're nearly there

She's been you all along

--------

I'm so ready for this day to end

This day so far from yesterday

I yearn to give myself

to the waiting arms of sleep

And bid you wipe my memory clean

Release it from my body

This day the clouds were thick

And I was lost

Or swept away

From God Herself

Who fell silent

Save the longing of my heart

The fear in my bones

And some low, quiet voice

Whispering

Hang on

I have no reason

Won't fake no rhyme

I can't know what's coming

Can't prove the call

But this too is holy

This too belongs

So bear down on

Breathing

And wait for the dawn
