Poem May 6, 1996 Issue

"... there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour"*

Janet Felicia Faure

Do we stand, mute and wondering, stunned
by voice-overs with violent imagery
that scan in seconds whole lifetimes
of striving and getting, regretting and forgiving?

Still, we can see beyond the terrors
by night and day, with doomsayers at noon,
and hour by hour give equal time to angels,
God's messages of hope and healing,

His infinite gospel
broad-cast silently
to limitless receptivity
on the quiet channels of Love.

*Revelation 8:1
