Holding Pattern

Caught between the moon and Miami
Hovering between heaven and earth
Some of us must sit out these circuits of the 8
Cheering fans in the far off bleachers

Hands dirty
Minds rending
Bodies screaming
Sensibilities assaulted

breathe

Arms empty
Hearts longing
Pride swelling
Prayers ascending

breathe

Patience fraying
Tears falling
Souls waiting
Come, Lord Jesus
