I Feel You<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This biting wind comes too soon.<\/p>\n
It feels brittle under this sandy canopy.<\/p>\n
Though apart, we share<\/p>\n
the same night sky.<\/p>\n
Can you see what my eyes behold?<\/p>\n
Are there stars shining to brighten you,<\/p>\n
with dreams\u00a0of what is to come?<\/p>\n
Or is your night too dark, too deep<\/p>\n
with pain? Are you longing,<\/p>\n
for loved ones to come and lift<\/p>\n
you from your couch?<\/p>\n
I long to wrap you in love, so sweet<\/p>\n
all else feels like a distant memory.<\/p>\n
Do not despair.<\/p>\n
Weep, if you must.<\/p>\n
You are never far from my thoughts.<\/p>\n
I am missing the beauty of your song,<\/p>\n
your stories, your laughter.<\/p>\n
Oh, precious one, remember how,<\/p>\n
even at this distance, I feel you<\/p>\n
in the uniqueness\u00a0of<\/p>\n
Love\u2019s heart. I sense it<\/p>\n
when there is joy.\u00a0I feel it<\/p>\n
when your bones hurt.<\/p>\n
I rejoice when your spirit is light.<\/p>\n
Listen, close, to hear the<\/p>\n
God, who loves us both.<\/p>\n
Yes, the world has placed<\/p>\n
cruel chains on all of us.<\/p>\n
What comfort knowing freedom<\/p>\n
those chains cannot hold.<\/p>\n
