Melancholy Song

Being made in God's image has implications. Living here, looking There brings about precarious, melancholy situations. There's a sad song singing In the soul of the wind, And yet a joyful wind blowing Through every soul's song. It never stays And it never goes, Calling our hearts onward To wherever it flows. It's a song of sadness And of good cheer, A song of great warmth And no small fear. The song of the masses And the song of one, The sound of breaking darkness in the night And the music of the rising sun. It's the melancholy in me And great joy, It's the deep desire to stay, And yet homeward go. I know this song And the tears it brings, I hear this song in my heart, it always sings. I feel the lonely but, not alone, memories remain calling us Home.
