From Soil of the Divine.
Birds at first light
tune their voices
offering melodious praise,
not one holding back.
They loudly welcome the dawn,
in awe of God’s handiwork.
“‘Tis just instinct,”
you say,
“Preprogrammed
animal behavior.
Nothing more.”
But perhaps
they do not suppress
their instinct to worship
in the same way
that so many people do.
The meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
The valleys deck themselves with grain,
They shout and sing together for joy.
-Psalm 65:13
