Calling

can you hear your heart calling
it is beating out your name
can you listen in the silence
and hear rhythms deep refrain


do you feel God’s love residing
there within your soul
all the ancient secrets feed
your need to answer what is known


can you hear your soul calling
in the whispers of the wind
draping you with a promise
turning you to look within


can you hear life calling
in the rising of the sun
do you feel the light bless you
and give you a strength to carry on


there’s a calling of the heart and soul
there’s a calling of the day
there’s a calling of the world
asking you to love and be engaged


embrace all the calls heard
and listen to their songs and words
answer them with a smile that’s worth
an opening to be filled
with hope and goodwill for the world
