In the Hour of the Owl
Unfinished Poem of the Day: Raw Poetry from Rev. Shakes
Each night I end my day by pouring my thoughts onto paper.
It’s not always pretty, it’s never polished, and it’s rarely ever ‘finished’ – actually, it might not even be poetry at all…maybe it’s just wandering ideas and scattered phrases strung together as I watch the moon come and go.
Either way, I present the raw poetry I wrote last night and the night before:
Listen Shhh, Shhh, Shhh, Shhh, Shhh... Quiet and Silence Are not the same thing. One is void of noise The other always sings. Listen for the lessons Whispered (no words). Only in Silence Does God's voice emerge. 2-17-24
