What I Can Sing Redone

What sounds can I raise to let you feel what I feel What word opens the skies and makes the stars soar into the Sprinkling night How can the Divine know how we struggle to join Chanting what the monks and nuns have learned to sing Trattato della vera devozione a Maria: or the Muslims call out Allahu akbar and the Buddhist humming om The excellence of the Divine cries out amidst the suffering And perhaps the end of the earth, pray the universe survives Perhaps to join together in all the mystic signs Until we can unite again until we join as fellowmen When we learn to sing

oh such a deep-seated prayer, and if only elephants could fly....but it is in raising our praise we walk away secure in the finality of it all....Elysian Fields await....or as Emily Dickinson put it....Hope is a thing that never fails....
