Not Today

.
The sun will shine and the stars will twinkle


Your tears will dry and your heart will not hurt

You will smile and know real joy

Your arms will be full and your loss will not burn

The world will spin as it should be

Life will go on and your wounds will heal

Just not today

Today the sky will be dark and your pillow will stay wet

Your chest will burn and you will see no way to ever smile

The emptiness of your loss will seem unquenchable while your wounds threaten to consume you.

You will shout out to heaven and your ears will ring of brass

But there is tomorrow and if not, there will be tomorrows tomorrow.

And there the Son will shine again

For we look through a glass darkly and this life is but evanescence.
