I chanted in an unknown tongue,
They listened uncertain if I was an angel or a ghost,
Or just a crazy old man.
I paused my chant meditatively,
Gently smiled, knowingly, neither angel, nor ghost,
Nor any more insane than another.
On, I chanted,
In song with the natural rhythms of generations,
Both past and future.
I spoke of peace and love,
Of the season sweeping into winter from autumn,
Of how miraculous We all are.
And in the moments of quite,
Between each word spoken,
I basked, knowingly, in the warmth of His grace.
Be well,
Monty
