Goldberg Variations
The light
in the heart
The power of rest
and retreat
Moments
of transcendence
Telling
the indisputable
Truth in a time
of deceit
Veracious visions
of justice
Glimpses of hope
and peace
Acquainted
with grief
Rhapsody in Blue
Views
of reality
Steeped
in deep thought
Reverberating
waves of grief
Visiting
the seaside
You will
reap
The seeds
you sow
The quality
of mercy
Listening with compassion
