Thought
Listen do you hear it?
No listen again
Foot beat one two three
As you walk belong to thee
Listen do you hear it?
No listen again
Heartbeat pound one and one
Climbing up as each stair gone
Listen do you hear it?
No listen again
Air bellows beat through nose
As your diaphragm fell and rose
Listen do you hear it?
No listen again
Not to news of world that burns
But tree’s changing leafy patterns
Listen do you hear it?
No listen again
In stillness voice of spirit speaks
Clear and high as mountain peaks
Prayer
O Constant Presence, you whisper in my ear, but I do not hear. You speak to me, but my ears are closed. You guide me gently, but I do not feel Thy hand. Grant that I may ever accept thy invitations. These hands are thine and I hear Thy voice in the silent stillness that you cover me with.
