Your respite















Be still



When the roving bands of

Want roam the valley of your soul’s earth



When heaven and earth

Eclipse at the meeting of your mouth



When the sound of your own sorrow

Fills the lungs with soulless wind



As time touches your cheeks

In tepid tears



Be still

All creation kneels in eight perfect

Octaves of applause

Shifting the light to display billions born to sing

His operatic praises



Take heart,

Knowing it is yours

God hears
