V O I C E of hope

Muted blue, trembling – a bruise Over the heavens, smokey expressions Hope, hesitant and bleeding light into the music, Notes, both gentle and creative – wise Like the melodious breath of a soul whose v o i c e Speaks bold, gracious dreams, feelings Blessed by the wind, the stars, the moon The music of beautiful, soothing and assured Gentle pastels, lavender and peach – accepting Rivers of blessings, lessons in truth Caressing the spirit who believes and rejoices, Amazed by the kindness, the mercy, the grace Overcoming the silence, the solitude Lonely like an ache, arising from the prayers Sent to erase the darkest place, The desperation, the despair, all the cares Beneath layers of dread, films of doubting Surviving the can’t, the dusk bleeding through Moments in twilight, with hints of mellow hues Hushed hazel, naïve as the dusty roses Abiding on the winds, hesitant and whimsical, Wistful as the mourning light, falling Across a bed of silence, a sea of mystery, Staggering leaves in autumn’s paint, flushed Like the edges of a memory, Pensive and yearning to see through the melodies, The poetry binding its senses, Through words in lasting traces of light, Graceful as summer, yet wishful as autumn And bleeding visions of winter through the thoughts In her V O I C E …. She sings hope She sings peace, she breaths a grace That lasts, never leaves The heart without its rhythmic truth, The soul without its pulsing dreams, The spirit without its sequence of grace Arising on the life who believes He is alive and He is the reason I can sing… Forever sing, swaying with the music, The muse, the moments Pouring out a melody of faith That agrees – each note is a blessing From the cross, and all through heaven Angel’s beckon with their music In one lasting message, a message Of One whose v o I c e brings the good news, News of deliverance From the worst sin The worst doom Because He is… I can live with assurance That I am saved by the grace that He grants With love sent from above, Love that is eternally mine! In a still, soft v o I c e, He invites each of us to escape that awful place that we were never meant to face!
