a familiar garment

sensing something very different

a profound change coming over him

as if casting off his skin

a familiar garment removed

the weight he had long carried

her words releasing its power

giving it to the wind

something real happening

a calmness in his face

sensing a real change come over him

the Spirit sending grace
