Letting Go

the Past has such an
irresistable song
when you let it sing to you, like that
getting all tangled up in
the melody. of a memory
don't you know
it sings me
to tears, sometimes?

but tell me
have you seen the sky cry, before?
and in the pouring, running, amazing rain
a tear. nearly stops in its tracks

have you felt sunset divine, on your body before?
and in the softening, speaking, breathing rays
a fear. almost feels safe
or have you traced, the faithful lights of night before?
and in the winking, twinkling, singing stars
a hope. gets to ride across the galaxies

then let us take heart and hear no longer
the croon of the once-had nightingale
but be fully, incomprehensibly, blown away
by what all of creation falls breathless at--











He
Is
God

who gives meaning to awe as He breaks the clouds and let fall the echoes, of a million broken hearts
who dreamt color and mixed them into a wonderful melange of sun and sky and sea, so our eyes could never deny
who gives us guardian angels in the surrounding darkness to remind us that light. will always be worth fighting for

and knowing that our life's song
is in the hands of one who crafted the very first Beautiful
be still then, and listen

for His promised melodies
