A Limb just Moved

You taught Your songs to the birds first,

why was that?

And You practised Your love in the hearts of animals

before You created man,

I know the planets talk at night

and tell secrets

about

You.

A limb just moved before me,

the beauty of this world

is causing me to

weep
