Numinous

(Photography by Alex Diaz - found here)

How could I instruct a tree to praise the Lord?
When he reaches toward the sun
And kneels at the breath of the wind

Or the whale to meditate?
The hour long reach of his breaths
Sounding down calling deep to deep

Or tie lovebugs in marriage?
Living tethered soul to soul
Life as long as their honeymoon

To compel fields of wheat to five thousand feed?
Reaching humbly in the sun
Breaking his body into bread

Or rains to rise in worship?
Whose roars and songs for hours stretch
Trumpets calling from age to age

To tell a man he is not loved?
Heart pumping red and his breath
Holy breath like a honeymoon
