Empty Spaces
There is a void in between
The moment when my eyes blink
And the moment when I see
The beauty that thrives
In front of me, like a dream
There is a vacuum between
The moment I visit sleep
And the moment I awake
To take on a new dawn, a new
Day where I will seek relief
From the nightmares that
Remind me when I dream
It isn’t always hope and peace
Sometimes sleep brings
Anxiety and distress
A feeling of hopelessness
Yet I am blessed
With assurance that this void
Will eventually pass by me
And I’ll move on to better moments
When the heart is soothed
The soul isn’t shadowed
And life itself is enlightened
Hallowed, filled with grace from
The One who shows love
Beyond measure, beyond words
Love that is forever, eternal
A living hope and prayer
Lighting up the very air
Love like this is love that I cherish
