A presence.

A presence surrounds me

engulfs me at every turn.

Guides me through hardships

and lifts me in times of depth.

Takes my hand and raises me from the gutter

Takes my soul and lifts it to the high heavens

Pulls my skin to form a concoction of a blistered smile

And creates scabs where I have pealed skin.

The presence watches me

In times in which my eyes are blinded from things of the world

In times in which no one was there to guard me from pain

Or to shield me from the rain.

The presence confronts me

when I have no one to tell me 'it's okay'

It gives me strength when I become weak

And supports me when my spinal cord is ineffectual.

The presence is there,

continuously for me and you.

Call on its name

And it will come running into view.
