One shot

one shot

this afternoon

too big for a picture

too real for me

sharp and broad enough

for my memory

to hold on

dark clouds

with heavy rain

drops on my head

sparkling light

on the road ahead

too sharp for my eyes

and in the end

a glimpse

of a rainbow

far away

one image

to take care

and wonder

for a moment

and a lifetime

the worries

and the shadows

in somebody's life

too heavy to bear

dark as the night

too big to overlook

the splendour

of the true light

too big for a human heart

but still guiding

each step that he takes

day by day

and then

in the end

the sign of hope

for tomorrow

a whisper of life

and a promise 

for now

to hold on

and live

day by day

bear and trust

today

a call to stay open 

for the contrast of life

the paradox of love

for the One

that overcomes

all worries

created time and space

especially for us

hold on

i say

hold on

not to the blades of straw

not to the pain

and brokeness

not to yourself

the things you build

the ways you walk

no words

no ideas

no worries

but cling to the One

that made you and me

he is the Giver and the Gift

the Promise and Fulfillment

the Light and the Lightener

the Mover and the Moved

the Walker and the Road

he is the One

that holds me

in the hollow 

of His hand

he is the One

that promises

new life

true meaningful life

splendour and glory

majesty and praise

should be given

to this beautiful

meaningful

Giver of hope

and eternity

Life Itself

the One and Only

i say

to Him

hold on
and again
i say
hold on

and i know

He listens

always
because
He cares
