“Still Held"
Words seem so feeble
in moments like these.
Life is so precious,
and death such a thief.
The depths of your pain

but I'll stand alongside you
in the darkness, my friend.
Love is a bond
that death cannot part.
Gone from your arms,
but still held in your heart.”
― John Mark Green

“When night has fallen so hard
and you just can’t find your way,
follow the sound of my voice
back to the shelter of my arms.

When the cruelty of this world
blinds you to all your beauty,
see yourself through my eyes
and witness your magnificence.

When your heart lies broken
in a thousand shattered pieces,
let me gather all of them up,
and mend them with my love.”
― John Mark Green, The Light You Need II: Romantic Love Poetry

“Listen for the Lost Song

In certain moments
of deep stillness,
you may hear it—
a faint melody
of aching beauty,
drifting softly in
through a window
left open
in some back room
of your heart.”
