Sky Choir

(Found here)

Were you to see a light-pierced night  & hear

our sky choir  voices echoing cloud to ground

our message  though it comes through loud & clear

might still be lost in overwhelming sound

Our angel glory  like a pale moon

just sings of greater light  so you may know

our lyrics flung  & sung  of now & soon

our  Gloria in excelsis Deo

You may  O child of clay  at first be drawn

as if our spectacle might be what matters

but like a summer bloom it will be gone

& like the winter ice it soon will shatter

So turn away from angel wing & feather

& join us as we praise his name forever

~D. S. Martin
