Closing The Gap

I thought true love passed me by

in this lifetime.

In my moments of despair,

I searched for love everywhere.

Then you appeared,

with the innocence of a child,

and strength beyond compare.

You challenged me,

“Do not be deceived by dark days.

They do not determine your destiny.

Step into the light.

Do what’s right.

Live your best life despite the strife.”

Your mysterious words comfort me.

I lean not on my own understanding.

Your sacrifice sets me free.

Forgiveness washes over me.

You fill the lonely void.

You break the chokehold of fear, effortlessly.

Hope for a brighter tomorrow,

shines through the chinks of my armor.

Your unconditional love embraces me.

Faith restored.

Soul redeemed.

Life, everlasting.

True love.

On wayward angel wings,

this eternal truth,

floats from me to you.

God,

The Universe,

Love,

or whatever you call your higher power

is here to rescue us

from a life of doom and gloom.

All we have to do

is close the gap,

from across the room.
