How I hear things:

God surrounds me.
I see Him in everything-
especially the birds
and people’s eyes
and their stories
they share with me (their inner songs are what i hear);
because I’m here
and listening through them to Him.
Their inflections
are syllables in His Mouth
about to be
pronounced.
God is never silent
even in silence. To me
He comes as speech
as living Word,
and He is always here
if you can hear.
