i.am.wide.awake.

a lover's embrace
from an unexpected place

.a man with nail-scarred hands.

a heartbeat so strong
mine can't help but beat along

in time to the rhythm of his love.

like the beat of song that has yet to be sung.

for the cries of souls yet to be won.

bridegroom.bride
face.to.face
side.by.side

he holds me
and i him

with nothing....
....and everything
in.between.

"I will betroth you to me forever;
I will betroth you in righteousness
and justice
in love & compassion.
I will betroth you in faithfulness,
and you will acknowledge the Lord"
- Hosea 2:19-20
