"There Once Was A Girl"

"'Hope' is the thing with feathers - 

That perches in the soul - 

And sings the tune without the words - 

And never stops - at all..."

- Emily Dickinson

Sometimes, when we cannot see light on the horizon, 

We must decide to 

Sing it out into the air around us -

From inside the depths of our souls and our spirits -

Until the kingdom of heaven is no longer burning embers within

But it is bright and beautiful and blazing in our eyes

Like the light of the sun.

This, then, is how we choose to live -

Pulling the morning into view

"You are all children of the light and children of the day. 

We do not belong to the night or to the darkness"

1 Thessalonians 5:5
