Thank You

In the rubble lies my heart
Untouched light behind the scars
Things are broken, still I breathe
And the miracle is me
Dust and sunlight in my hair
Nothing's steady, still I care
For the life that softly stays
For the now that holds my name
Thank you for my being
Thank you that I feel
Thank you for this breathing
For what is now and real
Thank you for the silence
And for the smallest sound
Thank you that I'm loving
In the way I know right now
See my hands, they barely shake
They remember what they make
Not for gripping onto things
But for letting soft winds swing
Every wrinkle in my time
Whispers softly: you are mine
And I dance upon the dust
Of the girl I had to trust
Thank you for the nearness
Even when I'm far
Thank you for the aching
That reveals who we are
Thank you for the darkness
Showing me my light
Thank you for the glowing
In the fear I tried to fight
I was here
I am here
I will be here
And that is enough
There's a sparkle in the shards
Only seen with dreaming hearts
And I follow my own tune
Even if it's out of tune
I forgive the pain I kept
Touch its hand with quiet depth
For my heart is more than blood
It is singing, breathing love
Thank you for this being
Thank you that I feel
Thank you for this breathing
Thank you for what's real
Thank you for the dreaming
When there's nothing left
Thank you for the wonder
Of my tenderness
Thank you for this being
Thank you for this being
Thank you for this being
