Reproached Reticence or Grand Command
The sunrise the other morning commanded exaltationto the God of all creation!!
I pause. I do not want to taint Perfection with my verseand yet, a sense of pink ink thunders, as if to immersethe part of me that poetry always gets the best of;a need to pen an awed and meek amen,to God abovewith love. Whose wordless eloquence never ceases to rousean image of glory, before/beneath which every poet bowsto pour, with pure intention, utterance, however flawed...to heed His invitation to exalt the name of God
...thus, I approach dawn's burning bushto hear His Voice resoundWith grand command,'take off thy shoesfor this is holy ground'

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the name above all names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
