So much to hear

A quietness, a stillness, and just a bit of sound
Are greeting  me this morning: they're everywhere around..
Then, in an instant, a tiny outburst breaks on through;
As sunbeams start shouting with a radiance bold and true

I hear them, I see them, and gaze with waking eyes
As molecules and atoms create moisture in the skies
All of them, working together: creating  a gentle rain
How soothing, refreshing: they're dancing upon my pane

The seconds, the hours, the minutes of every day
Are speaking and  shouting and having so much to say
They carrying their messages, their melodies and their song
Will listen  and will hear them and will try to sing along

Just for you, God made it all

Hear how the silences starts speaking to you
Restless, the moments, that burst open its true
From all of their places and from earth's own floor
Creatures will  rise up and greet morning once more

Blue birds and black birds and sparrows as well
Sing of their evening as they're trying to sell
All of their moments and all of their joy
So much is the beauty in those songs they deploy

Slowly there's lifting a slight misty fog
Unveiling some morsels for the writer to blog
Droplets of dew and a slight morning breeze
Invites us to ponder as they try hard to please

Enough for our spirits is this new morn's display
It invites us to ponder and it inspires us to pray
Acknowledging our  Maker who with kindness did give
Mornings and evenings and all things that live

They have lessons we all need

Golden sun beams on my sill
Speak out volumes when I'm still
See them luster; see them glow?
Divinity's shine is on overflow...

Whispering winds that wisp and wind
Touch my heart and touch my mind
Brushing gently; making noise
All creation holds God's voice

Lightly lighting here and there
Butterflies dance and bless the air
Colorfully flying: great their ease
They're emitting inner peace..

All the robins chirp and sing
Beautifully coloring everything
Peacefully pecking poking around
Seeking crawlers inside the ground..

In the daylight in the night
Creatures call and create a sight
Seek and see them all who read
They have lessons we all need

Things that matter....

When God is looking, He sees your eyes
He's not concerned with shape or size
He's not even moved by things you do
But values much, the love in  you

So change your heart and change your mind
Return to the love of all mankind
Spend  your time and spend it well
On things that matter but cannot sell

You push and pull on heavy things
And break the bank for diamond rings
But what'll you give for Heaven above
Its only price is selfless love

So change your heart and change your mind
Return to the love of all mankind
Spend your time and spend it well
On things that matter but cannot sell

The orphaned child or homeless man
Are often judged by those who can
But if you want to shine and glow
You'll be the one who'll stop.. you know

So change your heart and change your mind
Return to the love of all mankind
Spend your time and spend it well
On things that matter but cannot sell

The days go by so fast so quick
The moments disappear, the clock does tick
What'll  you show your angel of light
When, in your prayer you say:  "goodnight"?

So change your heart and change your mind
Return to the love of all mankind
Spend your time and spend it well
On things that matter but cannot sell

The Almighty has rhythm...

Reach out to the universe and touch them: all the plants
See them how they're mirroring the Eternal's Mighty Dance
Whispering in the branches and breathing on the trees
The Infinite speaks His secrets and everybody sees.

That the  Almighty has a rhythm and He has a melody
He sends out all His messengers; they play for you and me
We can hear them in the symphony of the softly blowing breeze
And see them as they move around the movement of the bees

While all the world is waking up the sounds of nature start
Birds are chirping everywhere; their music moves our heart
The leaves are moving peacefully: they bend, they bow, they sway
All the created universe is waking up to say:

That the  Almighty has a rhythm and He has a melody
He sends out all His messengers; they play for you and me
We can hear them in the symphony of the softly blowing breeze
And see them as they move around the movement of the bees

One by one the marching band of ants and insects galore
Parade across the spongy ground and dance upon its floor
The crickets and the butterflies the hoppers of every kind
Whisper to the listening heart:  these messages sure to rhyme:

The  Almighty has a rhythm and He has a melody
He sends out all His messengers; they play for you and me
We can hear them in the symphony of the softly blowing breeze
And see them as they move around the movement of the bees

Everything's so connected....

The rains, they are pouring, and watering all the land
Singing out their melody for all who'll understand
Carrying in their being-ness: the voices of one and all
Hear them as they're falling: how mysteriously they call

From the many countries, stories can be found
Emerging in  the raindrops and echoing in their sound
We can hear the weeping widow,  the orphans and the poor
And if we're really quiet we can even hear some more

Everything's  so connected: the animals, plants and us;
Yes God created everything with His wisdom and His touch
His Spirit is moving everywhere and in everything we see
An image of His Wonderfulness is beckoning you and me..
