Notes do the Shuffle Step

The notes shuffle step one
behind the other out of the speaker
Trumpet notes boldly bebop to the beat
The passionate percussions pour out like oil,
Uniting all the rest in harmony,
Peacemakers,
music shakers,
beat creators.
Guitar strums, it softly hums,
Flute flies, it glides, it swirls,
Piano nimbly dances along,
Fiddle jumps, skips and prances,
They all come together for a song,
Made of dances.

A quote from martyr Anne Askew (1521-1546)
You can learn more about Anne Askew, and other men and women from church history, in Richard Hannula’s book, Trial and Triumph.

Like as the armed knight

Appointed to the field,

With this world will I fight,

And faith shall be my shield.

Writing is flowing...but is it any good?
