Whispers

Listen Quiet

 

 

Awesome thunderstorms this day! Thank You!

Time for contemplative reflections---tranquil softness.

Like gentle wind through pine needles, whispers echo

in the recesses of an open mind---Listen quiet now!

 

A midnight garden flourishing under an alabaster pale full moon;

Babbling crystal mountain cascades beckoning a visit;

A warm embrace from each of my seven precious treasures;

Soft kisses like flutter-by wings against my cheek;

Freshened memories of those I knew and loved, now gone:

Anticipation for a wondrous day filled with adventure-excitement;

Waves lapping at the bow on fishing pond of ole Fox Lake;

Dad's admonition to "walk easy" mentoring squirrel hunting to a boy;

Mom's careful encouragement; Grandma's custard cherry pie;

Mind exercise with calculus, conjugation, diagraming sentences;

Reverence in the solemn church celebrating the mass:

Humble Prayer, contrite Confession, Holy Communion:

My erudite and pragmatic teachers, all of them dear loved:

Goodness offered and counted value-virtue to emulate:

My blue Pacific inviting from the rugged coast overlook:

A simple breakfast at the farm with loving grandparents:

Re-consecrated humble devotion to my Faith!

Satiating vision of my perfect loving Family!

Sacred "Thanks" for precious liberty's Freedom!

Praise! Honor! Glory! My humble offered prayer.

 

And, in the raindrop dancing-cadence---

Life! Love! Laughter!

 

Amen!
