An earthly intone graced with Spirit’s Songs <br />A guiding goodness gently leading souls <br /> <br />With most enchanted ears to greener life <br />And steeper royal hills adorned in bands <br /> <br />Of His morning light, translucencies heart <br />Songs of mourn-full farewells, a leading peace <br /> <br />Cornerstones of love built with hands of faith <br />Strumming safe passage to glassy blue seas <br /> <br />As promise-d, Jordan’s shore storms no more <br />Uplifting saplings to taller sky spaces <br /> <br />Indigenous mountaintop hardwoods, gifts <br />Of curly maple ~ shapely hourglass frames <br /> <br />Resonating loves humble thanksgiving <br />On frets set in black walnut songs of praise <br /> <br />Vows so sweet, so dear, so bountifully <br />Graced, a communities path to Home <br /> <br />Challenging those who find themselves with Him <br />At that well to recite His joy-filled song <br /> <br />While treading upward paths sweetly scented <br />Rose seeds newly watered sprigs of true life <br /> <br />Each treasured lone tree with roots growing deeply <br />Sings songs, bathe-d in His un-ending love <br /> <br />Dulcimers earthly hymn of higher hearts <br />Tenders gifts rising up in melody <br /> <br />(Rocking and Strumming on the Mountaintop, Tennessee <br />October 11,2006)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dulcimer-psalmody-2/
