Ardent Command

listen to the music of the night

daughter child of the MUSES

creation's plea heard within heart

this breath of life such blessings divine

and so my purpose beholds this gift of time

the hand with brush and pen in art and word

this the calling calling in PRESENCE heard

the song of the many winds shall you abide anew

threads of SPIRIT weave a cloak of grace onto you

expressions and marks,  the voice of the hand

unto CREATION be SPIRIT'S ardent command

listen to the music of the night

daughter child of the MUSES

creation's plea heard within heart.
