THE ALMIGHTY SPEAKS

 

Do you ever breathe

The fresh morning air

Still drenched in the blessing

Of the Queen of the night

 

Do you close your eyes and feel

Milky dew drops fall

Like soft kisses from heaven

 

Do you listen to doves

Cooing far away

Or bask in the coolness

Of a night after rain

 

Would you once turn away

From flashing streetlights

From music lacking art

And love lacking heart

 

Just once love the beauty

Of what we have not made

The stars that glisten each lonesome night

The crickets that whistle

While the fireflies dance

 

Or learn to heed silence

When the world is asleep

In the depths of the night

And sometimes in the darkness

The Almighty speaks
