Very Good

|||
early in that morning,
an alphabet of stars and constellations flung out like ink
and with one voice began to plead,
"look and read!"
the eloquence of sunshine
illuminated earth just like a scroll of salt and stone,
of freshest soil, of ocean foam
You speak one song, one Word
and we feel what is heard
the taste, the sound of a world that loves to tell,
very good
rivers filled with laughter
watering the roots of heavy vines and dripping trees
who freely gave their offering,
"take and eat!"
springtime and harvest
beautified the banquet of the world with seed and leaf
Your open hands for all that breathes
You speak one song, one Word
and we feel what is heard
the taste, the sound of a world that loves to tell,
very good
in the heat of the day
in the moonlit shade
communion with one breath was made
very good
through the lilies of the valley
I saw you and knew that we were one, but not the same
of bone and flesh, reflecting frames
we danced among the vineyards
the fragrance of your skin was honey sweet and dark like wine,
it flashed like fire the charge divine,
"unify, multiply!"
You speak one song, one Word
and we feel what is heard
the taste, the sound of a world that loves to tell,
very good
