REFLECTIONS

To sing the joy of words –
The power of the pause –
The ecstasy of making sense –
The hour of record.

To sound the love of phrase –
The sentence built of orbs –
The merging phonemes binding lines –
The order of the verbs.

To say the praise of Him
Who said, “Let there be sky” –
Who gave the breath of light to earth –
Antithesis of die.
