Wind and Window Flower

By Robert Frost

Lovers, forget your love,

And list to the love of these,

She a window flower,

And he a winter breeze.

~~~~

When the frosty window veil

Was melted down at noon,

And the caged yellow bird

Hung over her in tune,

~~~~

He marked her through the pane,

He could not help but mark,

And only passed her by,

To come again at dark.

~~~~

He was a winter wind,

Concerned with ice and snow,

Dead weeds and unmated birds,

And little love could know.

~~~~

But he sighed upon the sill,

He gave the sash a shake,

As witness all within,

Who lay that night awake.

~~~~

Perchance he half prevailed

To win her for the flight

From the firelit looking glass

And warm stove-window light.

~~~~

But the flower leaned aside

And thought of naught to say,

And morning found the breeze

A hundred miles away.

Isaiah 35

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;

the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the Crocus;

it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing.

The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,

the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.

they shall see the glory of the Lord,

the majesty of our God.

Strengthen the weak hands,

make firm the feeble knees.

Say to those who have an anxious heart,

"Be strong; fear not!

Behold, your God will come with a vengeance,

with the recompense of God.

He will come and save you."

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,

the ears of the death unstopped;

then shall the lame man leap like a deer,

and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.

For waters break forth in the wilderness,

and streams in the desert;

the burning sand shall become a pool,

and the thirsty ground springs of water,

in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down,

the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

And a highway shall be there,

and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;

the unclean shall not pass over it.

It shall belong to those who walk on the way;

even if they are fools,

they shall not go astray.

No lion shall be there,

nor any ravenous beast come up on it,

but the ransomed shall walk there.

And the ransomed of the lord shall return

and come to Zion with singing;

everlasting joy shall be on their heads;

they shall obtain gladness and joy,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35

Don't Let Go

Don't Let Go

I can't understand it.

The search for an answer is met with a darker day.

And we've been handed these moments forever.

But I'm reassured there's another way.

You don't have to close your eyes.

There is room for love again.

Ease the pain to realize All that love can be.

Forced apart by time and sand.

Take a step and take my hand.

And don't let it go.

Never let go.

Broken, once connected,

We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way.

So don't let me go it alone.

Turn your head up to the sky.

Nothing down below but me.

Face the truth to realize All that we could be.

Torn apart by rage and fear.

Hold onto what brought you here.

Don't let it go.

Never let go.

Turn your head up to the sky.

Nothing down below.

Don't let go.
