more than words poem // life of my soul

resin

sap

sticky

needles crunching underfoot

charcoal

lavender water

chipped china

open windows

line-dried sheets

starlight

woodsmoke

scuffed flats

worn antique rug

arrow feathers

heirloom jewelry

brewed heather tea

home.

mountaintop 

wind

rain

echoing violin

cave 

creek

rippling curls

cool flagstone

bare feet

knit afghan

crochet

dryad eyes

appalachia

roar.

grace

adoption

aslan

rest

eternity

inheritance

vast

finite

breathing

listen

renew

wait.

falling surf

boulder smooth

run

run

*click*

fly

pirouette 

shudder

reverberate tide

current 

I ride

free.

Lord Jesus

Savior

King

Lover

Bridegroom

Beautiful

Altogether

Holy

Lovely

Fierce

Gentle

Tender

Unstoppable

always

here

with 

me

Love.
