making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.”
Psalm 149:3
thinking the symphony
of creation calls only for
human shaped instruments,
we ignore the deep bass
of the bullfrog by the pond,
the scratching of a bear's
back against a tree,
the slithering of snakes
through a meadow's grass,
the rubbing together of
the edges of crickets' wings,
the whispers on the wind
caused by hawks gliding
in the sky above us.
