A MOMENT OF PRAISE by Gini Moreau
Praise be to God
Master Poet and King
With a thought and word
Created each living thing.
Such power in His word
(And The Word was there)
And life in His song
(The Word was God and so aware)
That from the melody of His thought
Creatures crawled and danced and leaped.
They joined in celebration,
From those who roared to those who peeped,
All lifting a voice they’d been given
To praise His name on high
And revere the Poet’s words
Written on the ground and across the sky.
And so He adored His creation
Though yet, not quite enough -
Still left, His signature, so to speak
To complete the world He loved so much.
So a mist went up from the earth
And watered the face of the ground,
And from this ground a creature...
Much different from the rest...
A reflection of,
The Painter,
Breathing,
Face pressed against
The image.
Communion.
