Beautiful moments come when tears release. It's in the unexpected moments, when the day fell short, and God's mercy and goodness thwarts the devil's digs.

a wax tear formed on redwood heart in the dark yet lit by many a candle wick my dry eyes wet acapella soars blood sweat tears adorns welled up wall to wall ascent hearts rent and bound in grief silent, deafening defeating lies spurs on healing stoked by perspective straight candlesticks proud, on fire a Holy Spirit spire

Kim, your quote and poem are just what I needed this morning. Going through some stuff. A reminder that our God will never despise a heart broken and crushed, and that Holy Spirit is the most powerful force in the universe, defeating both lies and liars, exalting truth and righteousness

When Holy Spirit touches our hearts, we will blaze like candles and tears of emotion like molten wax drops will fall from our eyes. You have described a beautiful moment, dear Kim.

You wrote quite a different poem than my recent poem on candles. I gathered, you are the young shoot, little plant, at the end, spurred by Holy Spirit fire, who touched upon your heart, "a straight candle" in dark. Beautiful, Kim.
