Fully This Gi

I have been away some weeks, I’ll.  Hope poetry will surface again with improved health.  Have missed all of you 

Fully This Gift. —————-

This overwhelming love that nods
To the rise of each hour’s passing
Throu day and on into night,
 Bears  God’s full story
Of All, so blessed
With his redeeming grace…

This force striking the heart
With profound feelings
And often mysterious aching that                      
Impels the inner voice to lament or 
   to sing...

This driving pulse and, too, this 
Stirring
Motion of every hungry breath    ,                       
Existing
By creation in the great cosmic design,   
Firing
On within all thought and seeking to persist...

This enfolding magnificence
— from amoebas to mountains — 
Which we perceive,
Then compose into prayers 		
  desiring answers, perhaps to come  hidden, 
    in each each individual,
		like flakes of snow...

This glorious gift 
	— not easily grasped —
This immeasurable jewel,,.

This is Life
For each soul:
Cresting on these blue waves, 
  these scrolling oceans, 
  glimmer
The points of our passions...
With this open sky displaying 
The criss-crossing contrails of our 
Pursuits...
This possibly limitless hope to be 
Found…
This
Now awaits...
