One day while I was at home alone, I was very conscious of how quiet it was, at least it seemed to be. While I sat there I put pen to paper and wrote a poem about the sounds I could hear and the sights I could see and this is how it turned out.
Sights and Sounds
Trees swaying to and fro create a rustling sound
Leaves swirling merrily along then tumbling to the ground
Birds picking up the breezes floating in the air
Seeming so serene as if they didn't have a care
Skies different shades of grey, white clouds drifting by
Winds that make a wooshing noise become a gasping sigh,
Chimes playing music with their tinkling notes so gay
Planes produce a droning noise as they fly along the way
The sounds of cars outside as they drive along the road
The spinning of my washine machine as it finishes its load
The tick tock tick tock sound from the clock upon the wall
The grunting sounds from my dog Rex as he chews his old blue ball
The pitter patter of the rain as it suddenly appears
Some of the sounds of "silence" which are filling up my ears,
Machinery in the distance somewhere a train upon the tracks
The Kookaburras laughing and the dogs bark out the back
The noises from my fridge sound just like my "gurgling" tum
A shaft of light across the roof cast by the hiding sun
I'm Oh so blessed to see and hear what's on this page today
For there are some not as lucky as I whose senses have failed in some way
But there are those can see and hear but decide to ignore God's way
They are blind to His love, deaf to His word and continue to stumble each day
If you're one of those then seek Him right now and ask Him right into your heart
With love on your side and God there to guide it's a great way "Your new life" to start
So listen my friends to the word of our God, from the bible those words you will find
You can start life anew, He will nurture you too, no need to be deaf and be blind
Gods love is for all who would listen to Him - Come to Him now repent all your sin
The wind of His spirit will enter you heart and blow all your cobwebs away
Can you hear Him? Can you feel Him. He really is there By your side He really will stay.
Thank you God.
