after storm
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.
