to one’s burden
you’re bound to be weighted

and sink to the bottom
where yelling seems necessary
to break through the waters

but it doesn’t have to be

let go of one another
let go of the worry
let go of the past

and grab hold of Him
Who pulls you up
to see through His Heart

where I look
will be a view
where I wake
will be a sun
where I sleep
will be a moon

so many things
are different
yet the same
so many meanings
have changed
from before
