Listen

Listen...

To the violets in full bloom
They tell a story of light and love,
Beautiful that can be heard
Between the smallest petals
And the gentling touch of blessings….

To the leaves who tremble,
Dancing in the shadows,
Reflections rambling to the rhythm 
Sensing the freedom of a song
Who flutters, falling from the soul…

To the stones, crying out
From the cool, dark earth,
Silencing the moon and stars
With whispering moans, sounds
Of heaven’s light, singing to the night…

To the rain, trickling on the heart,
Healing every fear, each pain,
Reassuring joy is still promised,
By the sincerest faith, the believing
Who never leaves the heart’s pleading….

To the dew, sliding across the rose,
Hesitating to bless the spirit who knows,
Seeping songs, weep like the colors
Who fade beneath the pleasures,
Hopeful, sacred, singing to the heavens….

To the angels, mysterious grace
Overwhelmed by the passage of time,
Where light never fades,
Where impressions of kindness
Dim the shadows with a sincerity, music..,

To the yesterdays, inklings and stories
Breathe beautiful into the moments,
Feelings and prayers, gentling the dark,
Hesitating so the flow of serenity
Ebbs and flows, coloring the thoughts silent…

Listen to the song that plays in the soul,
When prayers reach through the secrets,
Penetrating the aching grays, the stones
Even the stones sing praises…
Listen to the words of God who surely knows…

We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home!
Where we’ve always been known,
Blessed by the knowing – God is alive
And His love will abide, throughout all time….

Just listen to His light, stirring our lives
So we’re filled with a knowing,
Peace that keeps flowing – eternally mine,
This beauty God designed
When He placed His spirit inside…

Listen to His voice – and always rejoice
Because He is mine, life is truly divine!
