Tuesday July 25 2017  MUSIC OF MY SOUL

This poem was composed last night (July 25, 2015).  Due to the late hour I reserved a place to publish the poem on the date it was actually written.  Last night when I wrote the poem I was alone in my library with just a single lamp lit.  Soothing music was in the background as I wrote, lulling me to sleep in the dim room.  The music supplied the inspiration for this poem.  I hope you enjoy it.

 

NIGHT IS CALLING

Night is calling

With gentle respect,

Another day lived

I did not expect.

 

Each hour a gift

I unwrap with pleasure.

While living in the moment

I savor the treasure.

 

And now I reflect

Devouring the day.

What single impression

With me will stay?

 

I sit in wonder

Listening with my heart

That I retain the beauty

Of music’s art.

 

Simple melody

Shrouds my being

A bit of Heaven

I am seeing.

 

The song is over,

My eyes need sleep

From this wondrous day

Music is what I’ll keep.

 

And as I sit

In solitude alone

My heart is prepared

To approach God’s throne.

 

Gentle sound

Stirs my soul

As if in frolic

Like that of a foal.

 

Resonant glory!

Dancing notes!

Gifts that are offered

By Him who wrote!

 

Thank You God for this precious day!

Thank You God for being the AUTHOR OF GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN!
