In a Heartbeat

The rhythm, quiet and swelling Memories, breathing Naivete through wonders In sapphire, azure, passions Alive on laughing mysteries, skies Brilliant and alive – wise Like the sunlight’s reflections Pulsing with notes of musky Forest scented rainbows, In crisp, cool echoes – glimpses Obsessed with the beautiful dream Fascinating minds, memories Alive with the panting cadence, Patterns, epoch promises In notes of kindness, gentling The hues of mindless aliveness Exquisite truths, Paisley attractions, speckled With grace, praying For the faith to make this last – This wonderful, blazing harmony Shocking the spirit with the ability To feel like innocence, childlike, simple Before the darkness of adulthood Misunderstood love, doubt Revealed the silence that erases Even the prayers that are spoken Leaving hearts so broken The rhythm, arriving just before the night Beats in a tempo of insight, Blessing the silence with a gifted intuition The understanding, the perception – Just knowing that this rhythm called life Promises the spirit to abide In the love that rains down in torrents When a child remembers His light illuminates the memory Pasted across a heart, a soul Glowing, glistening like stardust bright With the kiss of beautiful, The breath that raises up a faith Far surer than the regularity Heart’s pounding, echoing inside Where His love speaks of eternity Forever, the song that frees Each soul from the devil’s snare, Erasing dark with a light that begets More love than the heart can hold More hope than the soul has ever known More faith than the spirit can exhaust More light than the dark can silence More grace than the fear can suppress This is a blessing that will never go Beyond the beautiful That sings pulsing melodies to the soul, So there is always the hope That His song will inspire sincere gifts… Love that never doubts or fears Love that is more alive than tears Love that changes a life, Beginning the moment we die, Bringing our selfishness into the light… Because of His sacrifice!
