Strong Words

By Michelle Tesauro-Jones
Words hang in the atmosphere

As I fill my eyes with Yours

Illuminate my life with Yours

Your words wrap around the world

Wrap around my heart

Wrap around each cell composing the fibers of my being

The fibers of this substance

Holding it all together


Heaven and earth will fade, pass away

But Your words remain

Your words are strong

A structure I can grab onto, sink into

When I feel like I am falling, drifting, wasting away

You don’t change

But You’re new every day

Your words are fresh

Like bread from the oven, they sustain

Give meaning, purpose

Hope, light, breath of life

Splashes of color

Embers of fire bursting into flames

Explosions in the sky

Fireworks across the canvas of night

Musical passageways to the other side

Where You fill the fullness of my mind
