standing in the gap

just when i think i don't have a clue how to write and i must be foolish to think i can, you are there showing me i am on the right path. for this i shall be forever grateful...

i know my strength, feel my beauty
at times it seems so clear
i know who i am
i see it
and then in a moment
i don't
for there are gaps
in my view of my own self
and who i can become

but you
you are always here
believing in me
in my moments of blindness
and from the heart of my soul
i thank you
for standing in the gap

I like the image of a gap, lacuna, fissure. Standing.

Ah, the gap between who we are and what we see...

"in my moments of blindness and from the heart of my soul i thank you for standing in the gap"
Wonderful words! Great use of picture too

I can totally identify with what you are saying. Uncertainty and self-doubt are the greatest demons I struggled against as well.

is there something about our bodies that reaches across the gaps opening out our soul offering an expiry date to death and love, doubt and celerity, levity not gravity. Oh so sweet.

very beautifully expressed...
i wonder how i can draw so much strength and more importantly faith from some of the htings that others write...

what beautiful words. i wonder, is that what makes man so wonderful? that we can never truly fully explain the entirety of that which we are? because we ourselves will never truly know, as we shift from form to form with each experience that touches us. yet again, you have made me think about things that will never truly rest satisfied in my heart.
