Spin Now An Angel Gowns

Spin Now an Angel’s Gown Dedicated to Father Johnnie E. Ross When a tree so desires to sing and dance, It becomes a home for the fabric of angels’ gowns. Go,then, and as you pass that place — Along the trail where you linger in wonder — By your favorite white mulberry tree, Where the silkworms were brought To feast on favored leaves... Pause And, please, take a knee to God For me. So blessings may come from your interceding whispers About my confessional pleas for mercy; About my screaming hopes for healing. And Speak, too, my praises and thanksgivings For the blessings of my life and still living... In all faith, voicing sacred verses, please Touch the heart of Jesus. ~ Wells may spring! Clouds may gently let go their rain onto Vines that may reach swiftly on beyond reason. And, notice! Wafting over you From the mulberry branches, The dappling dance of the leaves’ shade With the splattering of sun in-between, Inspiring your soul to sing For my healing. *****. *****. *****. *****. *****. ****** Thank you, Father Ross. And Thanks be to God. (C) sally Young eslinger 8/2020
