“like a roaring lion, with beams of light coming from His mouth.”
“mommy, there’s a lion roaring outside my bedroom window!”
and little did i know, i was right.
With a presence like yours, you must be aware that
nothing stands a chance against it.
Sometimes you’d seem so close; the walls of my home trembled,
the windows panes shook like a pair of nervous knees.
And when you opened your mouth, light emanated throughout
every corner of my room.
In that same instance, you fled.
Maybe you just got tired of using your voice so much.
Maybe everything had been said and done.
Maybe dinner was on the table.
Maybe you scared too many away.
i stayed. i sat here and i waited for you to come back.
“…please, just one more roar. one more beam of light from you.”
and before the words left me, you already heard them.
You did not hesitate, You were not modest.
You appeared to me so brightly, i had to close my eyes.
The suddenness of your might overtook every part of me
And like the child i am, i stared in awe and wonder.
so i’ll sit in this darkness, just so you can prove your light.
because i’m absolutely taken by you - there’s no questioning it.
