Intangibles.

I wish I could be your sunshine

Until it rains

Your umbrella until the

Cold chases us inside

Your sweater until you were warm

Enough

To see the sunshine again

I wish I could give you

That fleeting moment

To keep in a honey jar to

Shelve for times devoid of

Feeling and wrapped in a second hand

Pushed to hourly swelling

To shorten the moments between distances

We wish were not so generous with our time

I wish I could box life's colors

Like crayons to carry with you to

Scribble on the walls of darkness and

Entire cans of paint that never fade

Spread with brushes that would become wet

With all of the promises of tomorrow

I wish I could hang a mirror on the wall for you

That becomes a window

Because looking inward becomes too painful

Entire walls of glass that overlook the

Promises of God's love for you

His green pastures of rest

Blue seas of victory and

The changing of the guard

Between the sunset and sun rise

I wish these intangibles could remind you

Without words to crowd their purposes

That He is there

And He's never leaving you...
