Tick tock
The weight of time on my shoulders
Aching
Weighing me down like a boulder
Waiting
The voice of my fear starts to win
Groaning
Consumed by the walls closing in, in, in
Grieving
The rhythms of life passing over
Fearing
As measures repeat I grow older
Hiding
You tip toe out to my sleeve
Gently
Reminding my heart how to breathe, breathe, breathe
You craft a painting
From the breath of my sighs
Out of groaning and aching
You hum lullabies
With the knot in my belly
You sculpt angel wings
And with the lump in my throat
Heaven's symphony sings
Oooh
Oooh
You create cosmos
With my trembling hands
While restlessly pacing
You ask me to dance
You take a scoop of my whining
And bake break of peace
Out of my weakness
You make a masterpiece
You breathe
A fragrance of peace that surrounds me
You free
The chaos and grief to release
Holding
The tick tocking beats of my heart
You make
A worshipful work of art
