Thanks for the link, Eric Whitacre
In the stillness
non-essentials fall away
light shines in darkness.
Life is re-built
from mostly re-used bricks
previously battered down.
And in the shadows
music builds for those
with patience to listen
to beauty becoming.
Those who trust long enough
to invest the time
who will breathe with
ascending notes, climb the mountain
be washed clean
come back down to life
transmuted water to wine
and back again.
Intoxication.
Dedication
to feeling.
The Phoenix rising
from everyday ash
willing.
And in the end
a shift in key
a point of light toward
the hoped for
healed reality.
