THE MESSAGE

I flapped my wings.
I could not fly.
I knew within
The reason why.

Resentment's lead
Encased my heart.
My Spirit's journey
Could not start.

"Oh, how can I
Be free?" asked I,
Beseeching answers
From the sky.

But nothing did
Disturb the blue
To tell me what
I ought to do.

I searched for God
To beg His Grace.
I x-rayed through
All Time and Space.

I heard, "Soul's song's
A solo one.
One's own voice
Lifts one to the Sun,

And singing lessons
You must have,
If you'd not be
Resentment's slave."

I asked, "But who
Can coach my voice
To change its dark tone
And rejoice?"

God said, "My birds
Will help you sing.
My Love will unfold
Everything."

I felt His Silence
And His Peace,
And knew the future
Held release."
