Permission

Tired, Worn, Weary

Was the journey worth taking?

My patience gives little grace

Look around the kingdom here

Sweat, tears, years

No warmth, love all in vain

Loneliness replaces solitude

Will tomorrow be bright?

All I need is permission

Folding hands in grace

Breath crests and falls as waves

I need the space

To rest, rejuvenate and celebrate
