Wisdom Whispers

As I walked the field, behind my house
I saw it yesterday
Great swellings, from the earth below
Where tiny mice had played

Peeked and reared their little heads
Twasn’t squeaks, I heard that day
More like roaring lions cries
Voiced past all reasons way

A great big sign, upon the land
Fed mounts, with lifted lung
Then fell and crumbled up
From where, they once had hung

All the buffers, quelled expanse
Along the throats canals
Dissipating pockets closed
For higher rational

Humbled by a void of care
Wisdom whispered clear
A belly full, from long ago
Much ado, of nothing there

Swellings from the earth below
Within our hearts, we bear
In quietness, we then, are built
God’s loving earthenware
