I think of the place of my heart.
Can I remember it?
Can I hum its tunes?
Once the song begins
it can never stop.
It must be sung with abandon,
sung with sadness and joy,
an all encompassing chorus.
Sorrow leads to joy.
Humility to fullness.
Plead to let yourself free.
To follow.
To go to that place,
the place of singing.
It will take time to learn,
hardship, pain,
but joy.

(Nehemiah 2:1-8, Psalm 137, Luke 9:57-62)
