Winter Morning
Winter Morning
A dimness in the East lights the night
Then a still-muted lantern appears through the trees
Later an unshaded blaze reaches my squinted eyes
It’s a day to walk under blue and bright before the blizzard hits tonight
Songs God Hears
Songs God Hears A raptured Baptist chorus in their storefront church. Nuns’ sweet hymns in their Catholic choir. Buddhists chanting their hypnotic mantras. Muslims’ call to prayer, five times a day. A blues man pouring out his wounded heart. A song writer strumming and singing his truth. School kids piping-up their innocent songs. A family caroling outside Grandma’s door. A lover serenading the love of his life. A mother’s lullaby to her sleepy baby. Baptists, Catholics, Buddhists, Muslims, Blues Men, Song Writers, School Kids, Carolers, Lovers, Moms. Which ones does God hear? If you hear them, doesn’t God?
