Spontaneous combustion can be a worrisome phenomenon!
Don’t you wonder what it was Moses saw
when he said a bush in the desert ignited
and from the middle of the fire he heard a voice?

There may be other explanations worth considering!
When I looked out into my backyard late this afternoon
and saw little flames dancing across the bushes there,
I needed only a voice to make the miracle complete.

Of course, no voice came, just a mockingbird singing.
The flames were just new leaves fragile and thin
coming as they do in subtropics after a rain.
But it was miracle enough for me.

You can’t blame Moses for saying God did it
who after all gets blamed for or credited with
lots of things when no easy explanation is obvious.
It was a desert, after all, and he had to believe something.
