Litany in the Silence
Everything is still
Every thing IS

The red dirt
lilac, silky eremophila
old wind-sculptured branches
beside fresh gum saplings
the red dirt
the rocks
the ants
the dead leaves
the carpet of sunshine-yellow Billy Buttons
the red dirt
the bright green ring neck parrots
the mistletoe birds
and spiny-cheeked honeyeaters
the dead baby snake
the red dirt

The dead, the alive, the dying, the living
Every single thing
IS
(You are the image of the unseen God. Col1:15)

The quiet, the birdsong
The blue sky, the clouds

In Your sunlight, I see life
In Your shadows, I see hope waiting

Everything has patience
Everything is still
Every thing IS

I thank You
