A tune with no words
weaves through the day.
All day I let it find me,
do not try to turn off
the imaginary dial
that would make things
quieter. It is a comfort,
this tune, knowing
there are still words
to be written, still harmonies
to be found. The song
baptizes me, brings
beauty to what I fear
is a dark time.
It is a home inside
I take with me
everywhere I go.
