Me & Hymn

Lavender clouds twisting in the twilight
speared by the ebony points of distant mountains
as the gold of the desert sand reflects between
the blues and the scarlet hues of heaven.

Somewhere, a cactus remembers a symphony
of locusts lost to posterity at the end of
the earth where the ocean fades into
a milky highway to God's great gate.

The harmony of your heavy breath
and my grunting out His name, like a coital prayer
beneath His every star, reflect the moment
of creation and all the colors of His love.
