Always

on the verge of vanishing,

…straddling the fence at very first hint,

one foot on one side staying,

…other poised for a timely sprint.

Seeking

to learn from present, past experience,

…life lessons, emotional resilience,

hoping we’ve learned when to stay,

…or readily jump the fence.

Love

in truth's light can be an elusive prize, 

…taking  courage, hope, strength and faith

to give that kind of unbridled power,

… allowing another to hold your heart.

In

the farthest corner hiding, we think,

…squinting in skepticisms light

waiting for a clearer picture,

…justification…that we’re right.

Wisdom’s

truth is barely discernable,

…through eyes of a tainted heart,

but seek it diligently without reprieve,

…and it has to step out from the dark.

Light

illuminates darkness plainly, only,

…with eyes wide open, willing to see,

beyond the doubt riddled, tormented mind,

…is where we’ll find the truth we seek.

And

when we break through the tainted veil,

…understanding comes swiftly anew,

breaking the bonds of past experience,

…fortifying wisdom’s time standing proofs.

Grace

then gently guides one step at a time,

…teaching the heart to refrain from retreating,

able to remain in love’s light without fear,

… no longer on the verge of vanishing.
