About Me

A line is drawn that leads the eye,
a song is sung that stirs the heart.
The wind blows and the tide pulls
to compel that which is in its way.

In the night you hear a sigh,
you feel a breath, as from on high.
The stars above betray a tale;
they sing it loud, they never fail.
If at night you barely rest,
an empty weight upon your chest,
hear their song, believe their tale;
there is One their shinings hail!
