The Songs Of Our Heart Hear Then Rise Poem by Susan Williams

The Songs Of Our Heart Hear Then Rise

Rating: 5.0


.
The songs of our heart hear them rise
High in the skies
Like morning doves
Calling their loves.
.
The songs of our heart hear them sing
joy on the wing
praising always
the newborn days.
.
The songs of our heart meet our Lord
Our sorrow poured
His grace received
His love perceived.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Traditional Minute Poem follows the "8,4,4,4" syllable count structure. It usually has 3 stanzas that are exactly the same. So: 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. Thus it has 12 lines total. and a total of 60 syllables.. The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff.I wonder if the spelling should have been minuet...

This is so beautifully written Susan as all that I read from you is. I especially like this one as the heart does sing When In Love. Hear the heart and it will rise you to infinite Skies! . As far as the notes yes I think the spelling should have been minuet....

Ah, good! The more I think about it the more I think my source misspelled minuet because this structure sure sounds like it should be- -but what do I know, I was born clumsy! Thank you for your sweet comments- you know how to uplift the spirits of others! !

Hey, Susan! I didn’t remember that I had read and also commented on this. This time around I notice how everything in this poem feels like and articulates uplift. Every stanza causes us to look up. It strikes me that this would make a good plainsong chanted as a morning prayer. Hoping this finds you well in all ways, Glen
