Painting Sunlight

One word, a whisper,

the sound that drives us

closer

or causes anger

and resentment.

***

Just one word

could make hearts unite

or stay apart

in times to come.

***

If sounds are precious

and the music of surroundings

makes you believe

that tone and guidance are one,

close to souls

that stay young,

treasure caressing words

learn that their echos

linger

long after you are spirit

and stay,

a whisper on leaves

of tomorrow.

***

Convince, draw in a circle

those who share feelings,

devotion

don’t try to make a heart

light up

if there’s no spark

inside.

***

The light won’t come

when bidden

it needs to be there,

ever-present,

for yesterdays,

memories full of hope

that arise with one sunset,

keeping the hues

of thankful happiness.

***

No time is lost when you seek out,

dance with another soul,

exchange the words you treasure,

hear what you most desire

the sound that makes you feel

you can stay

in this home,

now that it has become

your own

garden of faith.
