let the sea and its fullness resound.
The fields will rejoice, and all that is in them,
all the trees of the woods will rejoice
at the Lord’s presence – for he comes...
Psalm 96
You are beautiful, my beloved,
easing into
the long bed of night;
deep-indigo, star-dust satin
you brighten each morning.
Your light becoming
what it touches:
peridot pastures torching
the blurred lines
of heaven and earth.
Fire rings of maples
opening their fists of rubies,
citrines and sapphires,
scattering like broken necklaces
across the blue-silver
floors of the autumn air,
our hearts' seasons and solstices.
Your light twisting
through the toppling topazes
across the bolts of fields
rustling the gold-
spun realms of beauty
you are spinning on your wheel
of immeasurable love
in the silence you are speaking
or song you are singing
us through.
