Again, comments are welcome and most heartily desired. When I invite you to play in my virtual sandbox, it really makes me happy to have someone to talk to. Thanks.
The choir entered statio.
Two solemn lines of grey
In choral adoratio
Eight times a day they pray.
And every solemn hour
They come to bend their knee
And give the earth some power
To flee death’s tyranny.
In bright of day and dark of night
These consecrated sing.
To bring the others to their light
Their chapel bells they ring.
Once every week they open
Their chapel doors up wide
And bid the faithful enter
To worship at their side.
And every Sunday morning
A family shows up there
Rejoicing, not in mourning,
Their hearts and lives they share.
These faithful love the voices
And chanted monkish tones
They contemplate the choices
These men live in their bones.
And though these children savor
The sacred art they hear
They do add their own flavor
Of worship at the rear.
A humble father holding
His youngest child near
Knows not the world unfolding
But everyone will hear.
From lungs not bigger than a pear
He chants his sacred sounds
For all the people praying there
An earthly cry resounds.
While silent adoration
Engulfs God’s Holy Throne
This child gives donation
From depths before unknown.
In urgent supplication
For some need now supreme
This baby’s incantation
Will shatter pious dream.
An untrained voice commands now
Each ear within this place
Each person contemplates how
His cry goes out to space.
In his shrill declaration
This innocent now screams
Who grants him consolation
To his primordial dreams?
His mother. She takes him out
To give him what he wants.
His absence then creates a drought,
The silence almost taunts.
For his vociferation
Of urgent, primal need
Is but articulation
Common to Adam’s seed.
For in each person born to man,
A mother mediates
A woman gives us what she can
As father hesitates.
So this is our condition,
And in our lives we show,
That there is no perdition
Within the hearts that grow.
Each voice has his own glory
And brings from depths unknown
Supplying to the story
Played out before the Throne.
That practiced adorations
As well as primal screams
Both come from God’s creations
And prosper here our dreams.
