~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sea, who breaks against the shore, reveals the anguish
soul’s soundless urge to feel the mist of impatient waves
remembering the solace, the soothing, the sanctity
beautiful waters scraping against the sand – a sensitive
peace that has the upper hand, the whimsical story
grace falling across the land…
mountains, climbing toward the summer sky, raised
hesitant to softly cry, moaning to the limbs of oak and pine
stealthy leaves in colors of tempting light, arising
so forever never decides to let time pass on by, let time
remember why the dream can silence the nights, fading
through the heart, in inklings of softest cries…
meadows, blown wild as the twilight’s melancholic rhymes,
a story unfolding on the hesitant stems, flowers and grass
revealing the music of a soul who hears the night’s prayers
erasing the fear, pouring out gentle instead, a furious race
between loneliness and the chaotic unrest of a crowd’s laughter,
the story of two who connect…
in rhythms of sea and shore, in the praise of the mountain’s roar
beyond the meadows and beneath the limbs of those oak’s heavy hopes
stirs the silence of a winsome grief so alone, so daunting, so full
like the lingering feeling of unending blue, the melodious ages race to the truth
where anguish evokes the mist of a mourning who is imbittered by doubt,
a mourning who never lets the joy out…
grief is the moment when light meets the dawn, with a fog who dithers, forlorn
risking the silence, risking the heart and soul, risking the moment
before hope withstood the song who colors the heart in lost,
colors the prayers in pitiful words, colors the forsaken in lingering lies
who remember what if feels like to grieve without end, with a grief
that shatters every peace the lives within.
Every peace – apart from Him who comforts beyond the heart’s unrest,
Comforts in a way that is surely blessed… just believe and know His relief is best!
