Thought
Echoed howls, cats fight,
Stabbing into quiet night
To awakened listening ear
Are reminder calls to prayer
Rows of birds perched on wire
Reserving songs for choral hour
To inspired ears they’ll be
Mantras of pure energy
In daylight mixed cacophony
Busy buzz - word empathy
Inspired listeners will regard
As God’s visiting audial card
Prayer
O Lord open my ears that I may hear Thy voice; open my lips that I may sing Thy praise; open my heart that I may accept Thy love; open my mind that I may know.
