Let the sky redeem itself,
\nopen like a sunflower in the rain.
\nIt is all I want
\non a day without sun.
\nI am a grape
\nthat needs the power of the light,
\nthe vintage of its hour.
\nRedeem the stone for its silence.
\nIt has the clarion of bells
\nin its heart,
\nthe laughter of children
\non the slope,
\nthe flame of a city
\nthat came and went.
\nKiss the stone and see its lips,
\nits eyes restored
\nfrom fingers dripping tears.<\/p>\n
Oh, the stories it would tell,
\ncoming from the earth
\nand returning,
\nwhile it looked heavenward
\nfor an answer.
\nRedeem the dream
\nthat opened in the night,
\nstars falling like snow,
\nthe beginning of time, returning,
\nso everything
\ncan raise its voice again.
\nLovers once more
\ncalling to each other.
\nLife refusing to go away.
\nHope coming out of the stones.
\nEverything restored for a thousand times
\nten thousand.
\nRedemption,
\nrising from the earth
\nwith love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
