7 | "Your Words"
____
Your words,
my life,
my bread
Your words
God’s whispers,
God’s wind
A sacred call,
a quiet hymn
a song without words,
where I end and where you begin
Your words,
God’s whispers
God’s breath
a quiet hum
a song without lyrics
yet I can make out every word
You
God’s whisper
God’s face
All my symphonies
are completed in you
And it's here
I am in tune
harmony
with Creation's
biophonY
For only then,
CAN I RETURN
TO the song
I’ve been dying to sing.

(note: This prayer was heavily impacted by my time in God’s creation and finalized after listening to Bernie Krause’s TED Talk. It absolutely wrecked me, I hope you get a chance to hear it as well and contemplate what our restless lives are doing to God’s creation. Is it possible that God wants to restore more than just us? “Bernie Krause is a bioacoustician whose recordings have uncovered nature's rich sonic tapestry — along with some unexpected results. Krause captures the fading voices of nature, studying sonic interplay between species as they attract mates, hunt prey and sound out their roles in the ecosystem. His documentation of vanishing aural habitats is a chilling reminder of shrinking biodiversity.”)
