The heart of you

0 posted 2002-12-20 04:46 PM

Listen now, mortal one, listen now above the screaming throng,
Above the crowded land and the lonely sky,
Listen now to the sound that comes from beyond the heaven.
A sound that is carried on wings of light from the stars themselves;
A sound that speaks to both friend and foe alike
Breaking hearts and mending lives from this time to the next.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Listen now, mortal one, listen now above the silent spaces,
Above the snowy city and the rainy forest,
Listen now to the sound that comes from beyond the horizon.
A sound that is carried on voices of children from the wombs of life;
A sound that speaks to both black and white alike
Changing lives and keeping hearts from this day to the next.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Listen now, mortal one, listen now above the voices of time,
Above the heavenly host and earthly crowd,
Listen now to the sound that comes from time itself.
A sound that is carried on pages of time from the stories of life;
A sound that speaks to everyone and anyone
Making things right where things once were wrong.

Dona Nobis Pacem

May the Holiday season bring you and yours the most peaceful of times.

What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

ok, had to look up those words seperately because I didn't know what language that was. Nice write. Thanks for the challenge.

Listening to every heart

I cannot begin to describe
the chills that I felt with this...
if there is a poem
that needs to stay at the top
of Passions
for the duration of the Season...
THIS
is the one...
THIS...
is the one.
