Now and Forever

The scream and silence

of my previous pain

weaves and wavers

in this current one,

an opened book,

cascading pages,

set back to the

beginning of the story

when my heart

wasn't for You,

but You still

held my grief

anyway.

Maybe like that previous

pain, this one will heal

over and through

and become only

the soft whisper

that dances amidst

all You'll bear for

me in the now

and forever,

and ever

amen.
