Sing, My Soul

A thread ... ties me to the Infinite a tendril of sonorous joy, expressed weaves the depth of my marrow to all that is and was and shall be and shan't ... O - sing, my soul, of all that I am - sing of what I can't be! A breath ... holds my melody of being spirit coursings beyond the capability of sensate expression swell from the reaches of my heart to find their diaphanous wings upon the maelstroms ... O - sing, my soul, of all that I feel - sing of a bounding love! A scream ... rooted in dulcet dreams rhythmic and dolorous and dark, of the night dances, lilting, to bind the wounds of that greater expanse to shed in music what I fear most ... O - sing, my soul, of all that hides - sing of my shaded sins! A song ... sews my innermost to the day a choral conjugation of my bones and the breadth of heaven the seed of expression, harmonious ... wending to enjoin this sparrow's strain ... with the All ... O - sing, my soul, of all myst'ries to find - sing of a life at end!
