Listen
Take the time to tune-in every now and then.
Listen to the whispers of the wind;
To the sounds of a passing train.
Listen to the power of the pouring rain;
To the soothing melodies as the birds sing.
Listen to the moving clouds, both white and grey;
To the language of the heavens urging us to pray.
Listen to sweeter sounds than tambourines;
To roosters crowing next door to setting hens.
Listen to the happiness of laughing children;
To the smooth and joyous pulse-beats
of a heart that is stress-free and sweet.
Listen to the calm, poise, stillness of a sunrise;
To the messages of those breathtaking hues.
Listen to the heavenly host of good news;
To the canopy painting eye-catching views of the sunset.
Listen to what God is saying as the tree limbs are swaying;
To the voice of the Almighty as we continue praying.
Listen to the relaxing orchestra of quiet nothingness;
to nature's harmonizing choir putting the weary to rest.
