Porcelain and stone
three ducks quizzically wonder
and chat about life.

Do moving feathers
squawking beaks, and paddling feet
define what is real?

Inanimate things
have essential qualities
infused with God too.

Why do some discount
a whole range of ideas
as just illusion?

Good is everywhere:
we are beautiful, serene,
inspired and meek.

Look deep into truth
Resolve objects into thoughts
setting concepts free.

We are expressive
Matter does not describe us
we’re far beyond that!
