All held dear does fall with ache,
Inside out, each fragment breaks.
Breathing halts to form a pause
Unseen is birthing a Holy Cause.
Would this moment not forsake
All my heart’s dear loved in a quake.
But rather lift another Body Of,
Apart from something, some part of Love.
Take away this day what values not
The treasures gained in life’s onslaught.
Here in soliloquy humbled -Thine,
Is soul that bends this day, Your brine.
Heart breaking, God quaking
Holy falling into –
the unseen, the valley, the pasture that waits;
All of His Gardens, His Treasured Estates.
