Long Ago
Breathless, like summer’s light
Erasing the night, reassuring
Souls with vibrant hues – so bright
Dreams stirred to life during
Joyous moments filled with insight
It is in the whispers of these times
While laughter rains soft, resembles
Speaking hope into the rhymes,
Stirring wonder so alive it trembles
Peace that slows down lifetimes
Feeling the zest of inspiration so striking
The wise spirit leaves the past, those years
Brilliant and tender, silence spiking
Wiping away the lonely, wistful tears
Going beyond elation or liking
Deepening the relationships, the love
Blowing kisses, tasting of spices
Warming as the soul who abides above
Brought to life by the gentling devices
Found inside those He takes hold of
Hues of breathless energy falling all around
Those hearts who regret the shadows
Yet come away with glistening wonder found
Penetrating the dark with a believing we know
Will quiet fears, bringing reservations to the ground
Each worry, every doubt – is hushed
By the One who makes a way
For the anxiety and pain to be crushed
In His word, He reminds hearts to pray
Believing in His kingdom is slow and unrushed
This is the grace that grows truer
Never fading away, it fills the life
With the promise that we who’re
His beloved, won’t know the strife
That comes to every wrongdoer
And, His light will never fade to gray
He will write our stories in the skies
Thanks to Him, we will not go astray
His spirit abides – His love will baptize…
Dreams and prayers – in hope that will stay
In the heavens, where we will go
After this life is over and we know
The joy of coming home to show
Him - that His blood will always flow…
Through the veins of those who owe
Everything to the One who saved us long ago!
