Born at midnight
Music in the background
Tunes about forgiveness
Hate, love…shit like that.
Spanked on the butt
By God’s gracious hand,
I let out a scream
That echoed for days.
Born to horns,
Guitars and keyboards
Lovely notes that drift sweetly
Across white cotton sheets.
A melody from the Angels
Floating on clouds of blue
Keeping time with sparrow’s song
Filling the night air with beauty.
Go with the music--
Learned this at birth,
Whispered to me across eons
From God’s own lips.
“Follow the currents.
Don’t fight,” He said.
So I picked up my soul
And headed for His Voice.
And there I found Life,
More to the point—My own life,
Hardly worth the bother,
Yet I made the effort,
Whatever the reason--
Some mysteries are hard to solve.
Awoke in the morning
To streaming sunlight
Dancing upon white bedroom wall
Unkind night was gone.
