one life to love

imported from facebook.

you only get just one time around,
you only get one shot at this.
one chance to find out
the one thing that you don't wanna miss.

one day when it's all said and done,
i hope you see that it was enough-
this one ride, one try, one life to love.

sigh, i feel myself drifting,
not into a familiar sedation
administered in the dark,
but simply, drifting.

i point my toes,
desperate for a reminder
that i'm still here.

but i glide by,
passing through hoops
without a hitch,
never once tripping,
never once tangling.

i want roots.
roots to trip over,
roots to tangle,
roots to secure me down.
and i'm not just talking geographical roots,
i want chronological roots.

i'm drifting.

i don't want to keep moving on.
i don't want to leave again.

i know,
i know.

whatever You're doing
inside of me,
it feels like chaos
but i'll believe.

something heavenly crashes over me,
and all i can do is surrender.

oh God.
come close and
hold my heart.
