some things come by
sweeping you up like a wave
so big
you just have to dive under
and there you find the calm
away from the crash
you won’t sink
you’ll swim
and you know
you’ll come back up
for air again
some things
are so big
you can only stare
in amazement
or in disbelief
and the quiet seconds
may take you miles and days
and seasons away
just to lift you up
and raise you high
then into its warm embrace
and you’ll learn
these are the things
that no one explains
and perhaps
there were no words
for all the bless-ed ways
there is a sudden gentle praise
that is summoned spontaneously
upon your lips
when you’ve been loved
and you’ve woken up
to a place
that is like a home,
precious and safe
