Listening to every heart

0 posted 2004-12-12 06:49 AM




Strange….

Someone knocks on my window
though no one is there,

Then I hear of trouble,
and send a little prayer,

as chimes begin ringing,
but lo, there is no wind…

so it must be that a miracle
is passing on again…

Strange that so many
are lost in their belief

when it’s the simple things
that bring so much relief;

Does one need a hairshirt?
or just folded hands in prayer?

Or know their thoughts are flying,
because He is waiting there…

Strange,

how such a quiet moment
in solitude can bring

the feeling of the miracles
as chimes begin to ring.

So much of the good things in life depend on faith.  Too much good cannot be said about it.  Well done.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

­It is a spirit
Outside your casement, that knocks
Begging, but silent
*
He asks, is given, he takes,
And passes on your message.

Again, Thanks for letting me pass on your message...(poem) and I did enjoy this one.....

miracles in the simple things - yes-

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Yep, those chimes do stimulate such a mood of reflection and miracle......
Nicely done and let me be the first to ask......What's a "hairshirt"?

Just me I guess......

Yes, dear one, very strange
written with awareness and profound feelings

Beautiful Kari...

from time to time, even I hear the chimes.
