His Voice
Like fireflies, glistening in the twilight
Filling hearts with the sweetest calm,
Coloring thoughts in peacefulness, so I write
Words reflecting the grace, its tender balm
Breathing joy through the soul’s darkest night
Like starlight, hastening to stir the heart, elation’s fire
Blazing auburn in the heat resembling summer’s skies
Whispering to the spirit, rhythms who inspire
Erasing all the past with a soothing kindness to chastise
Glowing like the moon whose dream will not expire
Like sunrise, beckoning silently from the still, cool dawn
Amazing the summer with affection so beautiful and wise
Music to the moments who remember loves to dwell on
Poetry in promises made by the July’s laughing beams advise
Promising mountains to birth the light to which they’re drawn
Like the striking grace poured out on those who hear God’s tears
In the rain, the dew, the way that storms brew in the East
Relieving the spirit of its burdens, its past, its timeless war with fears
Who linger inside when the joy, the laughter, the light has released
The heart from its yearning, its burning belief – calling through the years
