What I Can Sing Redone

What sounds can I raise to let you feel what I feel
What word opens the skies and makes the stars soar into the
Sprinkling night
How can the Divine know how we struggle to join 
Chanting what the monks and nuns have learned to sing 
Trattato della vera devozione a Maria: or the Muslims call out
Allahu akbar and the Buddhist humming om
The excellence of the Divine cries out amidst the suffering
And perhaps the end of the earth, pray the universe survives 
Perhaps to join together in all the mystic signs 
Until we can unite again until we join as  fellowmen
When we learn to sing

oh such a deep-seated prayer, and if only elephants could fly....but it is in raising our praise we walk away secure in the finality of it all....Elysian Fields await....or as Emily Dickinson put it....Hope is a thing that never fails....
