the singing in the living, listening heart <br /> <br />tells love in whispers; and the heart is always <br /> <br />listening; for that heart is always bliss; all <br /> <br />hearts in all ways, blest by ceaseless love; <br /> <br />the blaze of bliss in life is our soul’s singing; <br /> <br />this peace, our life as winging gift that’s blest; <br /> <br />its light brings love, sings peace, and brims the heart. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(An experiment in assonance without rhyme: the assonances are in a staggered sequence through the lines)<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lyric-5-staggered-assonance/
