A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

after storm

 

 

 

tonight we sing in soft embrace

harmonizing under the sheets

two poems lying side-by-side in white space

paper love

printing out our lyrics

 

I love you in punctuation

so elegant

the lines meet in heaven

the sound of the printer

sweet, like God's voice

 

as his arrangement

causes a cloud to smile

I love that a cloud smiles after a storm. It talks to me of reconciliation. That has to be a good thing. Beautiful first stanza J.

Well, I'm glad the storm passed, if this is the aftermath. It sounds as though there may have been clouds before, but the sweet sounds are causing them to smile now.

Erin,
Well, you know God is Love, and that is what we are commanded to do, so of course His voice is sweet.
