Praising God's Names

Hendecasyllabic spiritual poem.

Praising God’s Names

A rainbow’s arc spreads across the firmament,
voices raise, praise in a thousand dialects,
this paradigm of God’s ancient covenant;
light split into love’s primary colors bridge
the rift valleys that separate into sects
the species produced when matter and spirit
merged. Voices raise, praise, intone God’s trillion names;
glorify the mirrors of His attributes.

A rainbow’s arc spreads across Earth’s continents,
mystics dance, accompanied by castanets,
bells, tambourines, lutes, lyres, harps, dijeridus,
bagpipes, musical bows, reed flutes, talking drums …
echoes reverberate, voices glorify,
praise, unite, become a single symphony
proclaiming that there is not a spot on Earth
where one of God’s names has not been glorified.
