Nearer

Waves mourad-saadi-314319-unsplash

 

Waves sweeping,
Ship sinking,
Footholds giving way,
Still the music plays.
Resistance tempers strings,
Prompts the resonating vibrations. 
Art without pain,
Music without suffering,
Oxymoronic monotonic
Silence.
Titanic dangers surround the emerging sound
Of sweet assurance …
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
