ANOTHER THOUGHT ON QUITE RINGING EARS
The ears continue
to ring out profound silence,
echoing life:
When the echoes reveal,
Wisdom and understanding?
Ringing silent ears;
let us give God thanksgiving
for echoing life:
Without the quiet ringings,
Would we be in this loud world?!
Let us be happy;
wisdom and understanding
quietly ringing out:
God speaks in so many ways:
Think of quiet ears ringing:-

“And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.” I Samuel 16:23
David on the harp
Softly plucked the thing for Saul.
Soul-stinging, singing, taut catgut ringings,
For Saul
soothed the night away.
Soothed the night away.
“kada dadink strum kadunk dinkalingk”
Did the harp sweetly say,
As David
Plucked melodious strains of taut-strung strings and
For Saul
Soothed his serenaded-night,
Strumming his harp ‘till eastern zephyrs un-stilled the stilled air.
There morning’s pastel clouds foretold coming day.
There Saul in his tent-lair in the desert's wind-sculpted sand
gave ear to the lyre,
To the lays on his harp that David would play. And so
Thus David soothed Saul’s long nights,
and chased demons away.
