Fairy tales describe a world
Where all that exists does glisten …
Where dew drops have a voice and sing
If you would only listen.
But here’s a little secret:
You need not read a child’s story
To hear the voices as they sing
Of God and nature’s glory.
Rise early with the sun and watch
The world as it arises.
Listen closely with the spirit’s ear
And wait for some surprises.
In the stillness of the morn
You’ll hear the voices there quite clear …
The subtle whisper of a song
That’s singing in your ear.
Don’t listen with your left brain.
Leave the physical behind.
Listen with your heart, my friend
And you will hear within your mind.
All nature has a song to sing
A fairies’ tale unlike the rest.
And when you learn to read it
You’ll find God’s story is the best.

"Listen closely with the spirit's ear and wait for some surprises." A dragonfly of three inches landed on the heel of the five-year-old flower girl at my friend's wedding last night. Only a childlike spirit would allow the visit...and I remember thinking it certainly appeared to be a "fairy." My friend's mother died several years ago, but she was very present at her daughter's wedding last night. Nature brings us many blessings from the spirit world. "Listen with your heart..."
ReplyDeleteOn to living with love and gratitude as we listen with our hearts today...
What an uplifting poem and I like the imagery.
ReplyDeleteTake time to listen to nature and hear the birds sing, the wind blow, the waves splash and this will wash away the chatter...
"Listen with your heart, my friend And you will hear within your mind." Nice line...
