hope rebirthed

there once was a girl
she was kind of self-preoccupied.
she wanted life to be dry and tearless
she assumed heaven on earth
she prayed for interminably blue skies.
Maybe that's why
the darkness hurt so much
and the wind left her shaking and numb.
something is not right.
then when her tears wouldn't flow
she wished they would
she prayed for answers
but Yahweh said "I Am."
He touched her cold unfeeling heart
and it began to heal
slowly.
He reminded her that her soul-song
was not crying for answers
only for Love.

Do you ever get used to being lonely? When I've seen as much as you, I want to rejoice as well as you do. Will you teach me how to grow old?
