The Sand is Safe

It's like walking on water, I don't know if I'm drowning or in the midst of a miracle

It takes some kind of faith to remain sturdy in his steps

I close my eyes and feel him 

I can feel the goosebumps on skin so sensitive I forget there's skin there

I walk in his whispers, his voice guiding my steps, creeping into my subconscious

He is with me even when he is not 

And I am able to walk on water 

Never once reaching back for the shore

Not for its security 

Not to mimic the way it forgives the water for crashing into it time and time again

I never look back to the shore, shaking and trembling I still walk 

Not knowing if I'm going to drown or if I'm in the midst of a miracle

And when I feel like I'm just about to crumble from the weakness in my knees, it hits me
He has given me wings
I was never walking on water
I was taking flight
