a grownup’s prayer
by Elouise
I want to be in tune with You –
Listening to my heart sing
Surrounded by music
Maybe You could arrange for me to live in nonstop song
At home in my skin, content, grateful and unafraid
Connected with those I love or haven’t yet learned to love
Would You kindly spare a few moments
to sing me back together?
I’d rather not have another operation.

A few evenings ago I was listening to choral music, singing along from time to time. A bit weepy though happy. Grateful for small gifts during the day.
It dawned on me that I’m most content, most at peace when I’m surrounded by music. Especially, but not only, grand hymns old and new.
So I dreamed a bit. What would it be like to live in nonstop song? And might my Creator be willing to oblige me? Without ungodly pain?
Coming from a grownup, the ungodly pain part seemed a fair request. After all, I don’t have as much time for fancy procedures as I used to have. Besides, who wouldn’t love to be sung back together?
Hoping your day/evening is filled with music that softens your heart and sings you back together.

Telling the Truth 
I do believe we discussed music in a post a few days back; when I mentioned a remark made by Warren Mitchell aka Alf Garnett.
Though an atheist I do have some grand masses; my favourite of which is Ludwig’s Missa Solemnis.
Runs many minutes more than His ninth. Notice the use of the capital H in this instance, there are some who reserve that privilege for someone/thing else 👿 🐻

I picture song being the stitches (invisible) that are a work of art, winding in an out, not ugly and scabbed, ah what a beautiful operation that would be, and perhaps some rhinestones for decoration too….ringing crystals, anything shiny will do ❤ great poem E

Thanks K! What a lovely image…and not totally unbelievable, given the power of music, especially music that sparkles! 🙂
