Sparkle

One single string of starburst sunlight
enters the heart like a firework flash,
exploding in such intensity
till life itself becomes a serious of perfect notes.

We can see it anywhere,
just that momentary swipe across our souls,
speaking such incredible tones deep into our core,
when our heart rises
above any tide of listless flood
to find the sunrise for our own finger's serenade.

It isn't a visit to a place
specifically marked on any map,
somewhere residing instead
between what we touch and what we imagine.

A voice sings through us in the process,
one having our own sound,
but coming from beyond
where the spirit alone has ears.

For a heavenly pause
our lives transcend any darkness or valley where we tread,
calm and joy flow through the gathering creation
we begin to write again,
happy to have inhaled the gusts of notes
from an eternal wind.
