Teaching Steps

Walking through a forest of trees, at least that's what I thought, instead it was a forest of what looked like trees, but in reality were clarinets standing upright. Silver keys shining in the sun brightly, playing melodies and harmonies, their rhythms happily perm- eating the sounds of heaven with their melodic iconics and chords scoring up and down the keyboard. Calling to me deeply inside, not turning away, want- ing me to move into a new morning alone, beautiful and quiet, soothing my spirit with the presence of God's love held silently within me, teaching steps to increase spirituality throughout my life.
