Faith
I long to speak to him,
yell out His name;
but my lips are silent.
My heart sinks,
emptiness overwhelms my mind.
His love is unfathomable;
the vastness of it astounds me.
And how do I repay the debt?
With empty words?
May it never be!
How can I glorify him?
How do I express my praise?
My finger touches a single ivory key,
a string vibrates beneath my pick.
A song slowly comes to mind.
It has no words,
but words have failed my tongue;
they are useless to me now.
I focus on the sound,
reality melts into a dream.
The melody is sweet with mystery,
speaking on its own.
It comes through me,
yet I cannot control it.
I do not fear what it will say,
for it is part of me.
It is pure adoration,
not forced as it once was.
He is there;
listening, smiling.
Then the last note is played,
the chord rings out.
I'm left in awe of him,
but saddened the song is over.
It is complete,
my sorrow but a memory.
My mind returns to the present, longing to be with my heart again;
forever in his presence.
He is truly wonderful.
When my heart was silent,
music filled it.
The song is fleeting,
and I fear it won't return.
So I play it again.
