Oh! how I fear God

(...of the awe i have for God by gazing at nature)

O how i fear God
when I watch the moon
rise out of nowhere at eventide

on a sky as far as the whole earth.

O how i fear God
when i see mountains
planted into the earth crust,
with ages old as oceans and seas.

O how i fear God
when i hear of Everest
and the Alps and Himalayas
and autumn and monsoon and summer and winter.

O how i fear God
when i hear a choir of whispering palms and a country of a thousand dancing grasses singing and dancing in winds that slice the skin
with doses of calm and strength and reprieve and rest.

O how i fear God!
my mouth parts like the Red Sea
for the Israel of nature's wonders
to enter into my heart and settle there.

A blue whale is weightier
than an assembly of 1900 men.
A giraffe is that thing that thrums hearts into a place of bemusement and amazement.

O how i fear God
when i see my body;
ventricles and auricles,
veins and arteries are art.

one sinew leading into another.
a maze of capillaries and tubules
and a web of ligaments and tendons.

O how i fear God!
i fear his intelligence!
God is an artist;
a sculptor,
a painter.

and birds chirp this
and waters sound this and the sun shines this:

God is beautiful...
