Light years of melodies
bathe the earth in new voicings
each morning. As centuries role on,
there are new movements;
Songs hundreds of years long.
A thousand voices awake,
join the crescendo of praise,
which sometimes means to know (Yadah);
to speak the words of love’s vocabulary,
rhythms of mercy
that wrap themselves around you
like heat from
glowing embers.
glowing embers.
Melodies are meant to develop.
Sometimes it means to make beautiful (Navah);
to re-dress the I AM
with the reality of His own perfect, white robes
filling a temple of living stones
with smoke that is much more like incense
than the kind that makes you choke,
because beauty is holy
and holiness is beautiful.
When someone is beautiful they are other
they are set apart.
And when all are holy
they are beautiful altogether,
they are untouched by the fingers of fear
pulling at the hems of who they are
wanting nothing more than everything to unravel.
And we have been unravelling for 6,000 years
taking our chances with dead-end songs
(and every day we have a chance to sing
Creation’s song and the melodies of mercy
and the language of love).
For, at the sound of a thousand voices,
the doorposts and thresholds of the living temple shake
and the smoke frustrates the fingers of fear
and the holy and the beautiful are together
here, in one moment.
Don’t miss this;
the beginning.
In the beginning was the Song…
the Song was with God,
in His Heart,
in the beginning.
With the tone and tongue of thousands of waterfalls
the words were sung,
“let there BE…
the beginning of song,
of time.” In time,
be immersed in the creatures patient song
“Holy, Holy Holy…”
Lose time in a hundred years
to develop the melody,
the mystery,
as the covers are pulled back
and the meaning of the Song is slowly revealed.
And the meaning is in each voice.
And each voice is beautiful,
if it is unafraid,
it is holy.
And that’s what you are
made to be,
because God created voices after His own image.
And age upon age
we paint with sounds and words
and let there be…
as the curtains of eons are pulled back
and the Mystery of the Song is revealed.
