Past That Place


If words were notes upon a score,

would the melody play beyond…

 

Each phrase a chord, each line a hymn,

each paragraph a song

 

If words could sing harmonic,
  as their letters drift away

 

Would music take you past that place

— verse forces you to stay

 

(The Book Of Prayers: March, 2017)
