Naked Pain

Naked pain – abandoned hope
Treasure chest of dreams 
Put to rest

Visions across the forest floor
With leaves in hues of amber
Scarlet and gold
Crunching against
Deep, black earth
Decomposing
Fading into
Death

Bare, aching sorrow
Breathing through my soul
In waves of agony
Piercing my heart
With grief
From the
Loss
Of 
Peace

Rich, brilliant promises
Of flowing lights
Beaming across
The darkness of night
In whispers of 
Intimacy
Encouraging
A victory
For hope
Faith

Limitless, lasting love
Dancing through the
Spirit of one who
Listens faithfully
To the sounds
That come from
A heart who hears
God’s breath
In each noun
Each verb
Every idea

The thought
That breaks through
Fear, doubt, angst
To sooth and sweeten
The music that plays
A melody of faith
Sighing gently
In soft rhythms
Of the heart beating
Sensing the longing
That caresses
With a flow
Of love
