The Heavens Say So

Hold yourself in tender grace.
Let mercy be a constant comfort.
Raging streams have their moments,
and yet how quickly they dissolve
over rock-worn falls.
Make each day, a day of charity for yourself.
Breathe deeply into your own body of knowledge.
Stars still shine as clouds pass by.
The magic is you.
The heavens say so.
