~Delicate Happenstance~

[dv8dgrrl]

Always there
here
a sound rarely listened to.
Even these aficionados
have not heard
the silent rolling thunder
blind watchers of all the brilliant wonder.
These, the preacher and the choir
all yap by the light of this fire
and only by chance
delicate happenstance
do these vacant tenant souls
while walking ceremonial coals
lacking attention for digestion
work by the hour
denying their power
looking past this light
telling right what is right
and when the answer comes
in it's subtle symboled sums,
The preacher is thumping at the pulpit
the choir singing in their pews
Everlastingness in all her hues
shines for the silent
who, only by chance
delicate happenstance,
had stopped preaching and singing
and heard the faint whispers of the setting sun.
