SONGBIRD & WINDCHIMES (Explored)

and the ECHO OF MY VOICE

 

“EVEN A SILENT PRAYER

CAN BE FELT IN THE HEART

AND THE STILLEST SMALLEST VOICE OF CALM

HEARD WITHIN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN … “ - AP

 

Listen to the silence

now is the time

to find your voice

turn things around

while there is time

this is the time

to make your choice

 

Will you be standing idly by

while our world sinks into chaos

or will you after wonder why

you did not assist but helped to kill The Albatross

 

Listen to your conscience

raise yourself above

lend a helping hand to others

fill the world with boundless love

 

The boundaries of the world

are at last broken down and cast aside

alone we are curled up in foetal position small

together we are strong enough

to raise the spirits of humankind

to stand together upright and tall

 

Listen to the sounds outside

still some people ignore the Word

in my gardens; eyes raised to the sky

I listen to the sound of God's birds

 

I see an aeroplane flying high

but mostly the sky is clear and blue

I wonder where it flies and why

who is onboard; have they not heard

that down here is now more dangerous

down here is where the people die

 

This morning I was up to see the sunrise

I could not sleep; I am fatigued but cannot rest

the sunrise was so beautiful

I think it was quite possibly one of Heaven's best

I wonder if the child of seven I once was

who read the Bible cover to cover

will survive this; will it be the final test

 

The birds are flying in formation

some are pairing getting ready for procreation

the Spring is here; the rain has ceased

hard to believe in illness or death

surrounded by such perfection

in Mother Nature's pure creaton

 

Heaven help those people

who think they are invincible

who think this disease is not meant for them

foolishness; foolhardiness …

their careless actions may condemn

the more vulnerable ones in our society

the elderly and infirm

those with pre-existing medical conditions

but no-one is safe or free from harm

 

My sister tells to me a story

a baby in her small village born

with the Coronavirus; an innocent

who like an angel has done no-one harm

I pray this child will recover soon

I pray for the world; for everyone

I pray the scientists will find a vaccine

and that I will never die alone

of course, I pray that I will not die

but I am not special; who am I

this disease is indiscriminate

even someone that is high born

like Prince Charles, the heir apparent, has it

rich or poor no matter who

you are not impervious to the Covid-19 virus

we must be vigilant at all times

we must eradicate the spread of this disease

 

I wish you well

I wish you safe

I include the whole world in my prayers

whether or not you are my friend or family

we are all one

ONE HEART

ONE MIND

ONE SOUL

let no-one be divided

let no-one be excluded

 

God bless everyone

AMEN
