I can almost hear it
In the constant lapping
Of gentle water’s waves
On a quiet lake shore
In the louder roaring
Of crashing ocean’s kiss
In the wake of storms
I can almost hear it
In the softest whispers
Of the breeze on my cheeks
As it blows past my ears
In the deafening screams
Of the wind in the trees
During mighty tornados
I can almost hear it
In the cheeriest whistles
Of the brightest birdsongs
Greeting every new morning
In the harshest cries
Of the most dangerous
Hawks circling in the skies
I can almost hear it
In the call of every beast
In the roar of every wave
In the whistle of the wind
A cry, rising from the earth
Misunderstood by mankind
But not meant for them
I can almost hear it
The song we all will hear
When meaning becomes clear
And everyone understands
When every knee bends
When every tongue sings
What earth itself sings now
I can almost hear it
And my heart nearly bursts
My eyes well up with tears
And I add my voice in joy
To the tumultuous sound
Singing Glory to God on High
With the Song of the Spheres!

Heather: I could hardly contain myself from looking quickly to that last line! You built a crescendo of emotion in this lovely poem. At times it was loud and dangerous. At other times it was quiet like a birdsong. You knocked me over with the final line! I do hear the song of the spheres and even see it at times in God's great creation. It made me recall a hymn for children with simple but powerful words: "This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears all nature sings and 'round me rings the music of the spheres.". I started this new day with your poem. It has already made my day! Dale
I wrote a poem called "A-Men" and in the poem God is in control of everything in life and I believe that your poem also gives him this power. With God in control you must have faith for his vision and ours may not be the same, but the father knows best! Thanks, Anthony
Wow, this is a very awesome poem!! The imagery is just beautiful, and I agree with Lyle, the word 'almost' really stretches the meaning, and makes the reader strain to 'hear it'! Also, the line 'Misunderstood by mankind But not meant for them' hehe, how true is that! We're not meant to understand a lot of things, but most of us just cloud that by saying we're the superior species, and the stuff we can't understand actually has no meaning. It's amazing how many ppl are too lazy to look twice! Amazing poem, Heather, a perfect 10!
Heather,
I must concur with Moses. This is my favorite poem of yours and it truly is inspired. A ten is the highest I could give, but it deserves an 11. The repeated theme of "I can almost..." works incredibly well and accentuates the meaning perfectly.
God Bless!
Lyle
Heather, this is far and away the best poem I have seen you write. There is an inspriation behind this, and the poem flows like a fresh water spring; and awesome account of what we all look forward to. I gave you a perfect 10, and I am VERY stingy with my ratings. "And the trumpet shall sound."
Welcome !
