Every Sorrow |
| Safely in strong arms I lie now |
| Torn, the flags, but still they fly now; |
| Memories of the cold Decembers |
| Trampled roses, cloves and embers— |
| Gone the shadows deep divisions |
| That trade on hopes with steep conditions… |
| After every sorrow comes a joy |
| But every sorrow knows one more |
| Theives are cornered, smoking lanterns swing |
| Threadbare shoulders rolling under wings— |
| Sliding from her arms, conforming |
| Darkest eyes to brightest morning |
| Stealing back through woods and ditches |
| Pulling out the crooked stitches… |
| After every sorrow comes a joy |
| But every thief, he knows one more |
| I envy the sky its open arms |
| Its hidden eye, its howling false alarms; |
| The way it moves above you trembling |
| The day it breaks to pull you in, then |
| Curtain of its heart descending |
| Spiriting the sun its ending… |
| After every sorrow comes a joy |
| But every howl hides one more |
| This may challenge all our senses |
| Hold us tight within its fences— |
| But singing out, her gate stands open |
| For all the world, so weak and broken |
| A story giving all a framing |
| A face that waits but for a naming… |
| After every sorrow comes a joy |
| And every story knows one more |
