Twinkle


+

Twinkle twinkle Little Star 
funny little star we are 
full of angst and rivalries 
hopes and dreams
 and follies

 In the scheme of things
 We are so small 
Our problems even smaller 
Such that someone miles away 
Might look upon us all and say, 
"Twinkle twinkle little star,
how I wonder what you are"

Hush



+

We struggle so to hear 
The Still Small Voice:

Sing the right song,
Pray the right prayer,
Sit just so,
Eat just so,
or no...

I play guitar
And sometimes
When the strings are strummed
I feel a soft silence fall
As though I have bent all of Heaven's Ear
As though,
Perhaps,
He also loves my still small voice
And bids the angels hush
So He can hear...

"Oh my dove, my darling, in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely."
-Song of Solomon 2:14
