Steadying

Spirit, your eye

knows how to appraise me

You know how

to cradle my head in your hands

and tenderly reset

each strand of hair

each ruffled thought

each foolish misconception

You know how to set me steady

Hold me till my inner balance

finds itself

Send me on my course so gently

I can feel the poise to guide myself

Spirit, your gaze

is so clear

When I see with your eyes

I know that what I see is true:

My love is strong, my joy is pure

I choose your sight

to see through

I choose your sight

to see me through.
