Your Breath

                fills me;

                No longer do I gasp

                for air.

 

 

Your Hands

                hold me;

                No longer do I shiver

                from cold.

 

 

Your Words

                 comfort me;

                  No longer do I cry

                  in pain.

 

 

Your Being

                heals me;

                No longer do I feel

                despair.

 

 

Your Light

               infuses me;

               No longer am I alone

               in darkness.

 

You have given me wings to fly

when I was too broken to care.

With You, I soar...

My Father, my God!

I love the pattern and the way you really follow it all the way through, then the wrap-up at the end. Beautifully expressed.
