Wordless Intercession

 (For my band)

Cares carried heavenward
   from fretting fingers ~
 the empathic prayers 
        on wordless 
    whispers

Never regretting
Nor wanting
    forgetting

Chorded cadence from
Mesmerized muse

Notes
     tripping
  lightly

Your soul is incarnated
     once
   in the melody
Your spirit caressing
     the perfect pitch
   harmony

The heartbeat of heaven
 falls 
  faithfully lost
   in the rhythm

Of requests
     unspoken
   unsung aloud
I cannot stand

      Alone.

But your strings~
They pull me~
   from the unworthiness to love
   from the unholiness to peace

They carry me 
 deep
  inside
   the pleading
        heart

To find
  the answers I seek~
  and, for those answers,
the questions I need

Oh wow. This is amazing! I love this poem. It's so heart felt and explains what it's like to communicate so clearly in soul language through music. Well done! I especially love the part about "pull me with your strings"... perfect.

It is beautiful. I was reading your profile and I so feel like you do about finding yourself. I struggle with this also. It is so good to know that I'm not the only christian with this issue. But to me you are your poetry. You are your songs. I don't know you but they are so personal and so real. I can't help to think that those are you.
