Embraced

My Father's voice

ruptures held notions

throws off religion

knocks my emotions

from beneath my feet

His arms catch me

gathering me close

-- nose to nose

so I may fix my eyes to see

his smiling gaze upon me

where all my burdens evaporate

in the light of His embrace ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
