Sorrow's Hymn

When life unfolds in dark drama and tears,
the soul seeks the light that flames with hope,
reaching for the diamonds in the midst of the litter,
ever cherishing what is eternal and precious
while listening for the lyrics of love,
that divine song, which inspires the eyes
with a memory for what is truly of value
in this fleeting coil called life.

When unshackled of the clutch on this world’s baubles,
hands and heart can grasp for the immortal honey
dripping over our spirits
if we have a taste for its everlasting flavor.

Being able in the deepest sorrow
to pause with gratitude for the sacred gift of breath,
surge in the sweet joy of that hymn,
because we know its notes shall carry us
beyond any sadness that deadens smiles.

What springs as serenade enduring in those valleys,
serves as symphony so stirring in its soothing sounds,
softly dressing in a blissful melody.

Only by God’s music can one feel that laughter,
which keeps one humming when moans rise,
quieting the tension by the tunes of immortal strings.
