In 1998, the movie City of Angels was released, starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. My pastor went to watch the movie, and he was moved by this one scene where the angels gather at the seashore every morning to welcome in the new day. He said that they were hearing the music of the day being created. My pastor's sermon was the inspiration for the following poem.
Can you hear the music of creation, singing praises to the One?
Are your ears tuned in to hear it with the cycles of the sun?
Nature's children play this symphony and bring its songs to life.
They play for the Conductor, the music is His life.
So, bring that thunder crackling, the pattering rain in tune.
Bring in the chirping bird, the wolf howling at the moon.
Bring that wind ablowing, through organ pipes unseen.
Bring those flowers swishing, in their dresses made of green.
Bring those stars atwinkling as they shoot across the sky.
And bring that sun ashining as it takes its place up high.
We are the last to join this band, our life is our instrument.
We mus play it to the fullest, this time that we are lent.
Can you hear the music of creation, singing praises to the One?
Are your ears tuned in to hear it with the cycles of the sun?
