Creation Sings Its Music

That simple good Which is God ~ Conceives a new world In which we may be Born again ~ Or continue To live as dead Unchanging things ~ And yet creation sings Its music ~ And urges us To dance To its newest tune ~ Let us listen then Soon ~ To the words It …

Born Into a New World

~ And then I was born Into a new world ~ Cold Vast With complications ~ And the mind Had to grow ~ With the body Heart and soul ~ And there was so much To understand ~ Before I could start To gasp ~ And grasp The whole. ~
