Miracles from Nocturnes 1 by Jessica Ann Beveridge

I drowned a spider, watched it struggle against the current,
Swirling water dragging it down
Am I a sinner? When it takes a billion years to form a system
So intricate

A web of cells, alive
Decoding signals of Divine
Instruction, must be a mastermind
And this part is one of a kind
(One of a kind)

Crushed a mosquito, yeah they're a pest I know
But how different from a butterfly
Well I treasure Beauty, and the world’s a tapestry
Of many colours and shades, some ugly

A web of cells, alive
Decoding signals of Divine
Instruction, must be a mastermind
And this part is one of a kind

I’m half-way gone astray,
So readily profane
But destiny makes way
For marvels found in the mundane
I’m half-way gone astray
Readily I’ve thrown away
Miracles and I preyed
On the reverence that remains
