I think there’s a link between the sunrise
and the blue skies and the birds’ cries.
When I lie in bed I can hear when the sky is clear…
The raucous cries of the larger birds tear me from my sleep,
while the smaller chirps and cheeps try their hardest to compete ~
all this in the darkest night before the sun even shows himself awake ~
but I know, I can tell, a beautiful day awaits.
In the same way, when the birdsong is muted
and the screams have lost their harshness,
I know, I can feel, that a gentle day is in the offing,
perhaps with showers and a softening in the air.
How can any deny our Father when the proof is always there
and nature sings His praises for all the world to hear?
Are we ‘accidental’ beings and our world a chance MIS-take?
It’s preposterous to think that this could be the case!
There’s a song in my head
And it won’t go away – not today.
There’s a song on my brain
And it’s making me insane:
The notes just evolve and revolve
In a never-ending wheel,
Around and around, ‘til I find
I can’t get them out of my mind.
The end and the start
Are embedded in my heart
And the tune is so great
That it’s hard to think straight.
An inspired melody
With spontaneous harmony,
Forever restrained
In the confines my brain.
