Holes In My Grief

All thro' this ordeal You have carried me Held me tight Despite my squirming And now You have poked holes in my grief Hope shines and refreshes But what is that hope? I thought I had accepted I thought I had moved on But now I understand That I was blind That I was suffocating You shine and You breathe into me Other lights I brought But they dimmed I changed the batteries But again they dimmed Your light is true Your light lasts And needs no recharging You have poked holes in my grief Now I can breathe And I long to see With great clarity What lies on the other side
