My Song

My song rises, like the glimmering, shimmering
Symphony of myriad violins
Exquisite in their simplicity

My song rises, like the thrilling trilling
Aria of a thousand summertime cicadas
Ringing in the twilight

My song rises, like a flittering, glittering
phosphorescent firefly, its luminous glow
A breathtaking melody calling to the divine

My song rises, past the ceiling, reeling
Up to the heavenlies, and crashing through,
Awakens in eternity
