A Joyful Noise

Heavy

Birdless sky

Breath hanging like

Your silence

Close your eyes

Heart pounding

Like shoes in a drier

Want a cigarette now

Thought I quit years ago

I will make a joyful noise

Mouth open

Lies pour out

You know we're not leaving

You alone now

You will make a joyful noise

Hallelujah

You're still there

Beneath the snow

You're frozen

You're waiting to be let go

Let it go
