Joy's Waking Song

Each moment's rising woes belong

beneath a fleeting starlit night;

in you, I hear joy's waking song …

dire darkness withers far from sight.

What magic lies within your soul,

dares harness this unquiet mind?

A patient sculptor melding whole,

unveiling wonders -- redefined.

Like holy water 'pon my skin,

your gently-cleansing touches, rain.

All worries fade away … wherein,

love chimes in echoing sustain.

In you, I've found my hiding place;

its restful haven shelters me.

As morning's sun reveals true grace,

lone sparrow's wings soar high 'n free.

How glorious views soon appear,

enlightens wisdom truly told;

Tis looking glass beams brightly clear,

soft teary eyes of speckled gold.

It's always easier to weather the storm with someone by your side. This makes me think of how often people are actually torn apart by the storms of life because they lose sight of the fact that it is them against the storm rather than one person against the other. This is a good reminder to stand united together.

With all the seemingly never ending unpleasantness that takes place, pieces like this are a foil to it all and what more represents an escape from all the world's woes than a free flight of birds
Very nicely done
