Through the chill of winter's eve

Through the chill of winter's eve
I hope and strive to believe
Yet all my strength alone
Cannot reprieve me
Of who I am
Instead

Yet in the dark
Of chilling ice
My warm windowed
Visage finds me here
Quickening to come

And be with thee
Though oft my heart
Doth strangely see
For only itself
Complacency

Though still
Thy sure found
Chemistry begins
To work in me

Thy love
And grace
Doth not care
My woes
Hath come
To warm
And cleanse

So ripe the morn
And not forlorn
The taste of paradise
When look upon
The pearly plain
Tis hope there not
In vain

So soft then sooth
My aching bones
And breathe thy
Benevolence broad
My soul

Yea flutter in
My floundering
Heart and hem
Me deep within

No other love
Can hold my
Tapestry true 

No stronger cord
Can cut so deep
As you

For thou
And thou
Alone

Thy name
A shudder
And a wonder
All

Did form
The earth
And all
That grow

So strum in me
Thy melody
And play
Thy tune
Through all
Of time

That I may one
And only serve
The one and true
Divine

-Joshua Lee Foist
