We can all hear from God, our heavenly Father. Here’s a poem about what God has been saying to me lately.
Listening
music rings, melody is noted
words carry, marry for a message
rich, simple, all can be quoted
until a waxen coat shrouds the instrument within
a numbed jawbone like a heavy carapace
from time spent in the toxic, dusty place
balance rocked
desperate for drops of oil
there’s little gratitude for hearing until
the ear’s blocked!
* * *
my inner ear is hidden
deep where only wise words reach
keep it open, Lord
pour in your holy oil
prevent the tissue scarring
I want to hear your whispered call
respond to your gentlest footfall
on my spirit-drum
beating heart to heart
with gratitude for inner hearing
~ Lyn Thiele 2016
Lyn, I remember years ago when I first attended a charismatic church, I had the distinct impression many folk there had one ear open to God and one open to those around them. It was, and is when encountered, a lovely thing.

Not everyone understands my poetry! I’m glad you do!
