Diversity.
Oh Word,
whose love-voice names the lily
or cloud, rain or rose,
fish, frog, fruit or feather, whose
tune trumpets in dawn
or twilight and orchestrates stars,
can speak thunder,
sunshine, hailstorm and snow.
Oh wondrous Word,
who composes an alligator, lion
whale or mouse,
gifts wisdom to ant and elephant
gorilla and goat,
scribes atomic signatures into live
matter can write
mystical symmetry into structured
perfection, combine
language with production of kind,
provide on-going
vocabulary and grammatical flow
to creation\'s fine symphony.
Word, praise to thee who sang thine
own Self into humanity
eons ago for looking we find earth\'s
linguistic tongue
divinely reflects thy love for diversity.
