The quiet song within my heart,
Out from the margins tenderly,
Traces the contours of the grief I feel.
Born from a place hid deep below
The surface of my countenance,
A veil of tears churns like a potter's wheel.
The song expresses love for the people in my life--
For family, friends and enemies too.
The veil of tears wells up in sudden episodes of pain
As my restless heart considers love and loss.
Like whispered echoes from the past
The song evokes strong memories
Of gentle words uttered in time of need.
"Do not lose sight of heaven's hope,
Nor forget God's presence here,
But trust that he will heal and lead."
The song expresses love in the Lord God above--
For who he is and what he's done for us.
The veil of tears wells up again like healing spring rain
As my heart is renewed on the potter's wheel.

Very touching. I have been there. Thankfully, we love because He first loved us. He's our sustainer in all of this.
