Fight To Flight

Hunkered down
In the middle of midnight
The top was lifted off
To reveal a little box
In the presence of White LIGHT

One by one
The walls were taken down
Gathered to the center
Til the only ground
...flew

Suddenly, wings appeared
Upon my broken back
My faith, finally at home
My rhythm sounded without slack

One by one
The ground and the walls
Restored and reconciled
To LOVE, who I made so small
...fought

Gold are the boundaries
All lack devoured
Every gift and blessing
Freely showered
...safely
