Falling into this world
I lost my union with the Holy One
Naked and alone
Insecure and afraid
If only I could shed this fear and anxiety
like the snake its skin or the trees their leaves in the fall
If only I could slough off the what ifs and worse case scenarios
forming in my thoughts as I scan the perimeters of my life and those I care for
The One called Love came to me first in a thought and then a dream
When I called his name the fear vanished and I was not alone
This One kept calling and calling and continues this day
restoring the union that was lost
Whenever the fear stalks in the night or confronts me in the day
if I but rest in the arms of this Love
I know I am clothed, safe and secure
Never alone, never abandoned
The circle complete again
