he never lets go
By: Jiesu
I. he opened salvation
like Siddhartha
full of peace
he is
and we both know
life is pain and the world is full of suffering
but we are soft and new to
this path to enlightenment and
he
he opened a path to freedom,
a path to end to my suffering,
and we thrive in our fidelity
II. he is light
like a star in the heavens
walking in perfect bliss;
he had bound ahead of me at first
but then
he doubled back
now he takes my hand,
bright and leading,
he brings a new pace
one we keep together
in step
we shoot through the atmosphere
at lightspeed
III. he guides me
to a place of
elucidation
acceptance
he teaches me to love and
to be loved
this daily hourly minutely practice
he does it all so lovingly
patiently
except when I get sick of me
and crumple like a can
drowning in everything inside
then
IV. he is a black hole
pulling me closer
weighing me down
drawing me in
until I am enraptured,
saving me from myself
showing me once again what love is
