oh my soul...

Ever have one of those days
where the weight of the world
seems to settle
in layers of silty indignation
in the depths of your heart?
Where even the sun,
awakening the world to spring,
cannot coax a soul into it's warmth?

The papers have been served
that will splinter my family
officially.
Legally.
Permanently.


and the faint murmurs of an ancient hymn
reach my heart...

O my soul,
why art thou grieving?
What disquiets and dismays?
Hope in God...
