I heard a dove
it’s mournful cry
rose above
the chitterings and chatterings
of busy birds at work
I sought
to see the grey
flannel suited
troubadour
to find release underneath
his plaintive soothing song
Alas
too many things
deafened me
Soon his call
was crowed out and shouted down
by urgent tyranny
Then wind
carried to me
a perfume sweet
of lilies
with redolence pure fragrance
intoxicating me
Captured
I turned to go
longing to smell
fair flower
scent Heaven’s kiss of joyful bliss
rejuvenating life
Alack
my way was blocked
by chosen tasks
for others
no daylight left for wandering
duty demanded all
Your voice
called my name
In deepest night
I followed You
to darkened desk reached for a pen
and scribed our midnight song
This life
of pen and prose
poetry songs
and hymns
must be diligently kept a sacred trust
to glorify the King
