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.

Not half - and what diverse lot of poetic believers we are too here on mps. From those who's god eminates from being taught from aman made book to those who simply feel god spiritually everyday in their love of this life and all around us.
Yes D.A. the diversity here in this friendly poetry site makes us aware of such differences as we read and admire the many ways we as we look find inspiration in nature. - - Many thanks for your visit and comment.
A fine creative write Fay.
Thank you Orchi.
ANGELA HERE - Thnaks for sharing FAY - Our Creator God sure is the Author of Diversity ! Modern Poetry has been described as *Any WORDS in Any ORDER !* We who favour Classical Poetry select our WORDS much more carefully - to Scan perhaps to Rhyme and to fit like a jigsaw - into Pantoums - Acrostics - Sonnets - Haiku etc etc. We seek for perfection of Form - and by the careful choice of words Function ! Every Word in a Poem has value (but not as in scrabble) but in relation to the adjacent words and the overall message of the Poem ! Every Poem should carry a message ! Your elegant Poem perfectly defines & describes - DIVERSITY - Thank you !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love Angela & Brian 🧡🤍💙
You are so right Angela to remind us of Who designates all the diversity in human, animal , fin and feather kind and acknowledging such order in difference makes us aware we are not alone on this wonderful planet. Thank you so much for the comment and pleased you enjoyed the read. dear friend.
Super read Fay.
Another wondrous write Fay.

What you say in your wonderful piece (and book) is quite right Fay. The word does reside among us, maybe more so with the advent of the internet.
Words are judges by the company they keep.
ex animo, Alan
