+ 9TH POEMS: θυσίαν αἴνεσις Gerund Endings

Having lost some of my hearing,

I cannot hear all the notes the choir is singing.

But I know the Heavenly Choir's song is ringing

across the Cosmos, among the stars' shining.

To this truth, and the hope in it, I am clinging;

in Christ and His ancient Orthodox Church, there is no fearing

the failure of our Faith as the day of our Lord Jesus Christ is nearing.

"ever-singing” Though

"ever-singing”


Though silence steals the edges of song,

the heart still knows where it belongs.
What ears cannot catch, the soul is bringing,

a harmony deeper than mortal singing.

The stars themselves are notes unending,

their light a hymn, their fire a bending—

toward Christ, the Logos, all creation leaning.

Thank you for that; thank

Thank you for that; thank you very much!   I apologize for my delay in reply.  For reasons I am too old to learn, my G-Mail is not delivering my norifications right:  some get left out.  No disrespect intended and no lack of gratitude implied.  Your poem reads like it comes out of a Liturgy, and that is a reflection of your soul.

Just glad you picked up on that. I aimed for it to sound like it came out of Liturgy. Smile
