Brightness, whiteness, refraction of light Piercing through the keyhole of my heart Breaking open, and crumbling this house of cards That I’ve lived in all my life, that I’ve lived in all my life Reach from the heavens Purest flesh, whiter than snow Reaching down to encircle me, giving me peace Hands that placed the moon Breath that blows the clouds Eyes that light the sun Feel that step from star to star But what astounds me most: The arms that hold the skies are holding me Brightness, whiteness, blinding holy light Engulfing, while breaking my heart Razing to the ground, he is the foundation That I’ll live on all my life I have no other reaction Than to reach up into your arms A family, one body, held firm By those encircling arms
