Listen - 1

Listen to the heart who knows how to pray With faith, hope and love that will not dismay. Listen to the spirit who knows to wait Pausing to praise the God who did create Listen to the whisper of His sweet grace Painting hearts in hues of a kind embrace Listen to the joy in a child’s laughter Promising bliss lives in the hereafter Listen to the music that calms the rain With comforting hope that slays every pain Listen to the breath abiding inside Purring serenity that does reside Listen to the dance that is like a fire Shadowing the world with life I admire Listen to the dream of an aching psalm Gazing at the stars who apply a balm Listen to the light who sends gentle rays Covering hopes with grace that does amaze Listen to the passion that feeds the soul Igniting sparks of love to make you whole Rhyming Couplets Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Janice Canerdy April 24, 2021
