Getting Ready

Silence swarming with noise Sounds blasting, like a war Penetrating proof of the clamorous Blare, blaze, flaming craze Hues of doubt pouring out on the calm Darkness sinking into the heart Hushing the sigh, the breath, rhythmic Beating of a song, like the tear Sliding helplessly along the cheekbone This is the silence, the dread Grief that complements the death One who has gone on to the eternal Without the hope that comes to those Who know the love of a Savior… Grace that brings peace in abundance Promising of a hereafter who is perfect Soaring with light, love, laughter… calm That fills the spirit with joy – forever Eternally silencing the doubt, the fear The darkness that is so overpowering For the heart who doesn’t feel His breath Pouring out tenderness, warmth, hope On the spirit who glows with His brilliance Love that is pure, flawless, complete… Breathe deeply the wonder of Jesus, the King!
