Musing A Breath

Easter Wednesday

 

Let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice.

 Give thanks to the Lord, tell his name,

make known his deeds among the peoples.

 O sing to him, sing his praise;

       tell all his wonderful works!

                                      Psalm 104:1-4,

The finches are swagging the dawn
    with their butter-bright flying--
a sinewy multitude
    disturbing the sky.

While drinking coffee on the porch, 
    blurred a blush 
barely perceptible 
    in delicate lilting:
  
a long glance, 
   then gone 
like light gold leaves’ 
   wind-born design 
of an unseen eminence; 

or blazing wings 
   of nebulae falling; 
or God musing 
   a breath in eternity.
