For Something He Hasn't Heard Yet Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

I can feel from this far distance

something going right in the Heavens

though it has yet to announce itself on earth

or maybe the messenger got lost or hurt

or maybe it's just too hard for us, being simple

to decipher the sky writing.

who can say why

like angels, passing by

I feel it glistening

like God listening

to each breath in between

our faltering words for something He still

hasn't heard yet,

in the World.
