step between

have you ever noticed how much hangs
in the balance of anticipation and how
try as you might you cannot shake
the sinking feeling that you should know
what to do and how to feel and yet
in spite of all that you get lost in the
maybe, in the could be or what might
have been or did i really hear that or
am i still dreaming and is that an alarm
lurking beneath my subconscious
and now that i am face to face with
another face can i really see you or
have i made up my mind and lost
so much more than i could gain if
only i would give you just a little
a lot less in fact than He gave me
but a little nonetheless of grace
the space to be yourself and time
because after all it does heal quite
a bit though maybe not all since
some wounds require special
attention like what i am giving you
freely now should your heart open
as mine opens and we meet as we
are two souls before His throne.
