Ever in tune with God

The wind chime
hangs ready,
each polished tube
tuned like an organ pipe.
Every gentle breeze
whispering by
plays the chime
with ever-changing
melody. 

And even if
the breeze becomes a great strong wind
that shakes the trees,
the sound of the chime
is never a cacophony,
but always song,
for the pipes are ever
in tune.
No matter which way
the air moves them,
their sound is sweet.
Always. 

You are like the 
wind chime.
Your thought ever tuned
to God’s sweet voice,
your life aligned with
Principle’s design,
any gentle breeze
will make you sing 
the song of 
Soul. 

And if a great strong wind
shakes you to the core,
a cacophony of oaths and tears
never touches you,
nor do you join in
doom’s cruel knell.
Ever in tune
with God’s reality,
your voice is sweet,
a prayer,
a hymn,
joyful jubilation.
In harmony you ring.
With angels
you sing.
