Your Word filters through my darkness

I've been feeling a little bit of subconscious sadness recently. I feel fine and go through my day doing my tasks and going for walks, then I meet someone online, or on my walk and as soon as we start talking about vaccines and surveillance I get tearful. After reading the Word yesterday morning at 4 am, I lay down to catch 40 winks and this poem started to unfold in my spirit. Being a songwriter the Holy Spirit often gifts me with lyrics and sometimes also melodies. This time only lyrics came forth.
Poem:
Your Word filters through my darkness
Seeping into hidden secrets
Condensing them to diamonds with your blood
Picking up the missing stitches in my garment of praise
My spirit of heaviness removed
You give beauty for ashes
With the oil of joy for mourning
I draw water from the well of your salvation
With tambourine and harp
I will praise Your name forevermore
So like the Holy Spirit - such gentle, powerful, comforting words for your sadness
