Sometimes, all it takes

is the slight movement of your eye,

a tilt of your head, your heart, to admit

a new angle, to see the way out, the way through

that was always there, but just out of sight, like God
is. 

This can happen in the smallest pauses, like the rest

between inhale and exhale, or the moment just before

the words you will always regret find their way out

of your mouth.  This
is the salvation we’ve been waiting for,

the one thing that’s always given, if only we would turn
and

receive.
