Elijah Will Decide

My nephew's kid, coming up, heaven sent, all in the right timing. When asked the due date, the expected mother said "Elijah will decide." Ah, sounds like a poem.

The dawning light belongs to nature’s will

The dusk at night echoes a silence, still

The wind ushers through the valley, a faint wisp

Planets align whenever eternity calls for eclipse

The muse cups an ear and whispers the call of love

The Divine discards fear with an expansive view from above

Flowers bloom, gardens blossom – all in the right time

Trees stretch skyward, a destiny they are sure to find 

A womb cradles the sacred seed of life inside 

The day of arrival? Yes, Elijah will decide

Elijah will decide

The underlying intention is clearly made

Worry not, worry not; do not be afraid

There is enough of everything that we could ever need

For he is born from the infinite, that miracle sacred seed

The choice made with voice – it carries us home anew

When it comes the time to act, we’ll know just what to do

For those walking in the wilderness, knowing not where to begin

Will point in the right direction, turning their hearts back again

Taking a stand with hand in hand we’ll heed the flowing tide

The direction? Which way? Yes, Elijah will decide

Elijah will decide

 

And so we surrender once more, again, for the sake of all

And know we will arise when the Lord comes to call

As with the transitions: winter, summer, fall and spring

And the everlasting song, as the chimes of freedom ring

The clock on the wall just knows the moment to strike

The shepherd cares for a flock … mother, sister, father and brother alike

A family gathered in symbolic circle, pointing towards the one

In timeless anticipation of eternity … finally begun

Open to the miracle, open with nothing left to hide

The day and time of our rebirth? Yes, Elijah will decide

Elijah will decide

Elijah will decide
