Sing Me

Living a life in spirit.

Sing Me

Sing me Oh Lord

Like river over stone.

Raise me up

Like sap to the green fingers of fir.

Ferment me

Into sweet wine,

Leaven my faith

That I may nourish others.

Scatter my light

Like the far flung stars

Of night above desert sands.

Whisper in my ear

That my words be your words.

Forever fill my heart chalice

With love,

So I may let the thirsty

Drink of you.

Sing me Oh Lord,

Sing me!

I believe this to be my favorite from you, Michael. You have such a vast wheelhouse of talent, my friend. So wonderful to see you shine!

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you Kelly. I was writing from a place of despair, the pen was my shovel to dig myself out, and the two or three days I spent shaping this poem was a spiritual exercise to get me outside myself and to remember the true meaning of life here, to serve others.

[Chris Shaw]

Beautiful in its uplifting quality. Loved this spiritual piece. I found your words reassuring and calming. Thank you Michael.

Thank you Chris.

[Neha agrawal]

This is a beautiful and reverent piece—lyrical, prayerful, and full of longing.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thanks Neha. I’m glad you like it.

This reminds me of the songs they sang at the First Assembly church I attended for a bit, very beautiful and spiritual. ~Jim

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you Jim. Ironically, while I consider myself quite spiritual, I don’t attend church. I’m happy to see some of you are receiving it positively.

Your words present thanks for what is and what will always be: faith in delivery and survival by a Higher Being. Superbly and gently laid, sir.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Well thank you emmajoy. I try. I am pretty satisfied with this one. I just wrote it this week under very trying circumstances.

[emmajoygreen]

So very sorry to read of 'trying circumstances' but at least some good has come out of them. Yes?
