I'm sitting out here listening to

a chorus of crickets

on a cloudy night

the veiled moon

peeking through the tree branches

the stray cat was waiting for a snack

i haven't seen any rats in my barn

since he showed up

so he can stay

the sunset was an ongoing spectacle

i couldn't help but notice

but I'm wired to notice things

the good

the bad

the ugly

the awkward

and i wonder

if the heavens speak to us

to me

do they hear me?

are they listening?

i'm convinced that

they do

and they are

the moon is peeking

from behind the clouds

and i think he just winked at me.

β€œThe heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,” Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
