I HEAR GOD

I hear the raucous scolding of the jay 
as the neighbor's cat wanders into our yard – 
and I hear God

I hear the delightful squeals of children in the playground 
spinning furiously on the merry-go-round – 
and I hear God

I hear the rumble of thunder 
preceding the approaching summer shower – 
and I hear God

I listen as the raindrops 
play a staccato on the window pane – 
and I hear God

I sit and listen after the rain has passed, 
and hear the gentle sighing of the wind in the pines – 
and I hear God

I walk on the seashore late in the evening 
and hear the soothing splash of the waves 
as they break ceaselessly on the the beach – 
and I hear God

I hear the soft, rhythmic sounds of my wife's breathing 
as she lies sleeping next to me – 
and I hear God

I hear the words of a much loved hymn 
being sung by the choir – 
and I hear God

I hear the still small voice 
whispering words of love and encouragement in my heart – 
and I hear God

God is all around us – Do you hear Him?

Tim, I had such a busy day yesterday that I missed your checking in on me! Thank you, my friend, for your thoughtfulness, your support, and your lasting friendship!

This was a lovely re-read. LOVE your form with the beautiful short refrain that adds a lot to the poem. (I think I would add a "too" as the last word in your poem ~ but that's only me)

Thanks so much, Curtis! If we don't share Him, there may be some who never hear. I appreciate the growing number of poets who have, in the past year or two, have been acknowledging Him. I would like to think, not egotistically, but spiritually, that I was one of the poets who began that change.

Congrats on your win. I like the format as each stanza ends with I hear God. Well done!

Thank you so much, Line! I have practically been shunned on Soup for some reason. 130 views on this poem and only 3 comments. Is it because it acknowledges God? He is, after all, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all that is within!

Great write Curtis, superbly penned and love your challenging question at the end. Trust all well with you, over here it's very stormy and set as today it's rained non stop all day. Blessings always,Gordon

Thanks so much, Gordon! I am always blessed and encouraged by your comments. The weather in your area sounds identical to what we have been experiencing in this part of Georgia. The good part of it is that my lawn looks like a well manicured golf course. Blessings on you as well, my friend!
