Closer To Me

Love…

Such a STRONG, supernatural force;

An extra-ordinary air;

A rich and priceless cloak of belonging that wreaks “MINE”…

An inhale trickling down to the unseen, unknown spots of your “butterfly zone”…

An exhale calming every single nerve until you reach an elevated plane of euphoria;

Love…

A power so overwhelming that the infamous occurrences of the unexpected still drive no wedge in your connection;

A power so all-consuming that struggle, capable of deconstructing the walls of the psyche, makes no ground on the battlefield for your heart;

A power so magnetically charged that concepts beyond understanding and logistics fail at diminishing your desire to want more;

You see…

Love is so intoxicating, while yet sobering, that even if blinded to my very next step, I would take it anyway…

that even in a moment of being given the choice to walk away, as others have done, I can only muster the honest response,

“…..to whom shall I go?”

I could search…but there is only You.

I could explore…but I’ll only find myself back at You.

I could pretend…but in the moments of pure truth that my solitude provides, I will only find myself silently longing for you again…

Your strength…

Your air…

Your embrace…

Your gentleness…

Your poise…

Your power…

Your intoxication…

Your unchanging truth…

…..to whom shall I go?

No, no, no, no, no…

You are it.

You are my choice.

You are where I belong.

You…

Love.

John 6:68
