With Night Crickets (wind and whimsy)

Image
  The porch now is cool And chores set aside And crickets move in for a chat. The moon o’er the lawn Awaits the pure tone Of reeds and my breath, fancy that. I give them a piece That must start out low Addressing the pain all around But upward its climb To regions sublime Embracing the Mercy I found. This little band dear With notes oh so clear Responds to my cadence and kiss. And night friends all pause Emotion the cause Drawn out by a wee song like this. So artless each chord Resounds to my Lord There must be His love in the tune Each breath and each thought By His kindness bought With heavenly choirs coming soon.

  Wednesday, 16 February 2022 Harmonica Breathing (for the Duke)   What can he teach me about those rather undramatic inhale chords? In another life, a camp song I used to belt out for the kids. Or perhaps at some party with the in-laws and others in their neighbourhood.  Haven't really thought of it in years. The porch now is cool And chores set aside And crickets move in for a chat. The moon o'er the lawn Awaits the pure tone Of reeds and my breath, fancy that. I give them a piece That must start out low Addressing the pain all around But upward its climb To regions sublime Embracing the Mercy I found. This little band dear With notes oh so clear Responds to my cadence and kiss. And night friends all pause Emotion the cause Drawn out by a wee song like this.  DB
