throughout
my life songs
melodies, both in
joyous celebration
and in deepest lament
there flows
a counterpoint
of grace, a golden
thread running
through a dull
garment, bringing
it to life,
and as each part changes
the thread remains
constant, holding
my song gently,
drawing from it
a richer harmony
than I could sing
alone, it sings heavens
richest melody,
brings light
to all my ways,
tells me
I'm not alone...
