 Rattling Bones by Raymond A. Foss 
						Dry, bleached bones,
 an army dead, dust where they fell
 spoken over the prophet, the man of God
 a rattling sound, of the bones moving,
 coming together into soldiers,
 rising with the breath of life more
 inside the sinew, the skin, the flesh
 of the reborn nation,
 the people of the covenant
 given life once more,
 by the creator,
 the faithful servants
 dead bones, reanimated
 ready to proclaim His glory
