Are You?

cumulus clouds cumulate beneath the surface

and threaten to rain their contents down my cheeks at the first 

sign of another front

like pretending i don't see rainbows in the irises of all mankind

it's humid

i feel hot

and my skin is sticking to nothing but dew drops in the uncertainty 

of each morning

so are you the shoulder assigned to me?

to provide a break in this overcast?

the shoulder strong enough to lean me towards the sun in my darkest hours?

no offense

i don't need you to complete me

but i would love for you to be here to amount to something

with me

to help signal the world

our parents

our children

that it's going to be okay

because look at us

as one

in a world divided by fear 

weathering every storm

together

frustrated within the eye of each tornado

yet thriving within its calm as we're lifted through torrential downpours

  

indexed so far inside the Richter scale that the magnitude of our ups and downs don't register

transformation ethereal

so beautiful, the destruction of worldly walls and faulty foundation

as welcome in our home as sunrise blessing earth with enough fruit 

to nourish nations

are you the seed?

cultivated specifically for my winter barren land ready to give of itself?

are you him?

my snooze button?

providing me with just a few minutes to not be awake?

my alarm clock?

set to break this fast when my Father says I'm ready?

are you him?

so rooted in God that you're able to rejoice when you uncover my well of tears?

because you understand why I've collected them

because you possess The Light to see preservation of love at the bottom of this salty pool

because

you see the opportunity to drink of God's enhancing power and 

remain eternally thirsty 

for His plan

for us

are you him?

the man created to bathe in my testimony?

afraid but ready

and willing

to make yours just as available to me?

are you

him?
