His overwhelming arms, they hold me
\nAs the world reels in despair
\nAnd mixes its palate with
\nVarying degrees of despondency.
\nThe Lord is my shelter
\nI heard that today
\nAnd my heart crawls out from under a stone
\nEmbracing the conception of newness
\nSurrounded by crumbling towers of normalcy
\nWe cling to those which fate
\nHas abandoned, and seek our heart’s content
\nAbsent from the news
\nReflecting voices down the long hallway
\nNearer to the screen, they cry out for
\nSomething else
\nIf serenity witnesses the furor, let her speed
\nQuickly, as a flame
\nHe is not absent in this time
\nThe Love above all loves
\ncollects the pieces of glass and fragments
\nOf concrete
\nFraming them into tears, which fall
\nCollected by the seraphim
\nCome quickly, Lord, to this wretched world
\nWhose foundations have drifted onto sand
\nAs the crafted tendrils of our lives wrap
\nThemselves around.
\nYou are neither absent nor silent,
\nCrafting the yearning of our hearts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
