Doxology

Violin bends,
Bows notes –
I bend and bow,
In this court
Of praise.

Drum beat –
Righting heart –
To the rhythm
Of this place.

All accord –
Flats and sharps,
Major and minor.
Piano reminder,
We are song.

We sing,
In life –
Bitterness
Of plight –
Unison words
Recite the dark
In the well
Of our heart.
A candle slowly
Let down
To the bottom –
Where water,
As music,
Replenishes.
