Poem
As I stared into the starless night, the blinding lights of the city blotting out the beauty of a cloudless sky fading away into day I wonder what we missed this time - so preoccupied with our earthly troubles - perhaps a message that Heaven wanted us to hear Could it be a winsome Sonnet that was waiting in the winds for us, but we did not listen? As I looked out over the waters of the endless river - flowing steady The small streams making their own separate way, reflecting the beauty of the Moon lighting up the night sky; What is the story they have to tell - but we are too busy trying to sort out the problems we brought upon ourselves Could it be a sweet Melody in answer to the questions that flow continuously through our hearts? Oh Look! Behold the mountains rising in the distance - the lovely Daffodils and Sunflowers moving in the soft winds - blue green grass covering the Earth from as far as the eye can see - What is this Song they sing? Do we not understand the language they speak to us? Are we so filled with the worries of everyday life that the meaning is hidden from our minds Could it be a wholesome Ballad to guide us through the maze of the issues of everyday life? It seems we can translate with ease the verbiage of hate filled hearts; We put ourselves in agreement with the Lie; that our Creator made one race of people superior to another; we read the dictionary filled with the meaning of murder, betrayal and treachery - perpetrated upon others who were made in the same image as ourselves - and then we watch with closed hearts the consequential results of indulging in this dark information Could it be that we missed the sweet Song whispering in our hearts from Heaven's Choir?
