Cadence

Cadence Nature dances in the cadence of grace In hypnotic snows descending Or raindrops steady patter In symphonies of metered tides That match the rhythmic heartbeat Drawing spindrift of the heart into fusion. Grace never slumbers in hibernation, Nor does the pulse of consecrated mercy sleep Abiding in the orbit of the seasons Harmonic vibrations of celestial seeds Flow from the eternal’s pulsing passion In steady beats of melodic call and respond. Grace breathes in measured breaths of compassion In the tempo of prevailing winds In sync with chirping poetry of avian songs Like forgiveness breathing in then out In even patterns of enduring peace Nature dances in the cadence of grace. 2-3-23 Contest: C Words Sponsor: Constance La France
