All Things In The Morning

all things in the morning will shine again for you
though every path seems useless
and almost nothing true

though with your heart unevenly
you try to see things through
and what you make with your own hands

every tide comes through.
still all things in the morning will shine again for you
and all that's latticed one day

will open to the dew.
and everything will bloom
and winter will not be

nor thorns nor endless curses
nor ships lost on the sea.
and weeping in a land of drought

will never never be
the way it was before you learned
there is a God that bleeds

for each and every lost thing
and every single wound.
and you will find the morning

and not  the dread of tombs.
