A Verse of Longing For God

A Verse of Longing for God

*************Sally Young Eslinger (C) 2020
                              

I doubt I shall ever fully hear 
The psalm my soul longs to write,
For it dwells in the source 
Of its intended...
Singing between my heartbeats
In the Paleolithic hum of my ancient,
Ancient ancestors painting their first marks
Of self-expression, seeing stars glint
In the black eyes of bears...Oh!
But can I recall their distant canticles
And paint them anew along walls,
Retracing to the day of our creation?
To see the leaves of Eden rustling
In God’s breathing...
Alleluia.  Alleluia!
*****.     ********.    ******.    *******.    ******
