Yadah

I am birthed, disfigured,
Into filth, toxic to all
Yet, fashioned to hold
Carved to pour fourth 
Praise, exaltation, worship
From every pore,
Sound, both guttural and vocal
Faculty, of mind and emotion
And ligamental motion.
Every cell, in its design
Stitched to burst 
In Praise
Before You

Yours truly, 2011

Yadah is Hebrew for praise, to give thanks, to confess.
