music in the mail

Music
in an envelop
carefully place inside
the front screen door
of my porch.

Music
mailed to me
from a friend
saying to me...
these words
I think you
will get these words.

Indeed,
I do
and the music
that comes with the words.

This afternoon words and music
have been flowing out my door
off my porch onto the
front lawn
into the street.

Mumford & Sons
Sigh No More

These are some of the words
I get...
I've lived:

"And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again."

"But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds"

"Roll away your stone, I'll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find....
And so I'll be found
With my stake stuck in this ground
Marking the territory of this newly
empassioned soul"

"I'm scared of what's behind, and what's before
But there will come a time you'll see
With no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see,
what you find there
With grace in your heart
and flowers in your hair."

Amen.
