Sighs of the Soul

I've heard of a grief so painful, some hearts cannot absorb its pressure. I know of a cry so saddening, 'its feel' defies description, and the ears cannot endure its sounds. Me thinks there is a sigh so deep as to be rendered immeasurable. Immeasurable cries and sighs, deep within and next door to singing souls. Indeed, my soul does sing, "My Savior God to thee, how great thou art". But my soul does not always sing. It sometimes aches, sighs, and cries. There is a grief, Sighs of the Soul, that explodes the heart and bleeds the trembling heart of cherished dreams, creating torrents of screams enough to perish the noblest of dreams. 102020PS
