I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works.
Psalm 145:5
beating, beating across weedy waters
drumming echoes deep in steady
calling, calling endless croaks calling
across the twilight rippling waters
beneath emerald lily pads chanting
hearts a beating, humming, drumming
upon the ragged battered beach
on the shoreline grass is singing
hearts are beating, humming, drumming
Beating, beating on weighty water
panting breath of inky, bleak night
searching for the cherished one
down flowing channel vibrating
under starry autumn night
hearts of beating, humming, drumming
around scrubby, sulky, sandy island
in the deepest of darkest evening
hearts a beating, humming, drumming
beating, beating across weedy water
croaking strong, secure, steady
now, resonates deep upon my heart
summer’s bullfrogs now sleeping, sleeping
