Psalm From the Pools of Faith

Psalm from the Pools of Faith We are kneeling atop the bottomless Black pools, our knees riding the tops of spring-green lily pads, our heads bowed, singing out Above the mirroring waters of our Faith; our voices rise in Alleluias Until the very earth rattles, lifting our rejoicing Up through lead-gray clouds off to meet the stars, On to far galaxies, our sound amplifying As it moves and gathering un-dreamed-of Harmonies to carry the heaven-heard Hunger of our joined souls — Given voice in the splendors Of the Kingdom’s light and loving psalms, Authored in all by the Word made flesh. Our roots extend into the deepest Black of all-colors, holding fully strong Our stems above the pools, and our Blossoms stand heavy with their segmented Blooms, purely white as the crescent moon, Inclined to greet our display. We are The vision of our sound, felt testimonies Of the Living God and his grasp Of our souls’ desire to rise In the embrace of faith’s calling, from the black pools Of the darkest nights still shining here Right at our doors, so near our feet, With an outreaching of our hands, we Will grow into the psalms. Alleluia! ************. ************. ************ Glory to God! (C) sally Young eslinger 10/2/2020
