In frozen thaw time is a river that calls and I a ripple upon its rapids and falls. By God begun I will follow its end until my river is run and the waters are still until I rise again. Time and space and gravitational waves wash over me beside its portal graves. In flux and flow I’m between the spatial of fire and ice but God’s time is glacial and mine is not. He is the Omni and knows me by name, He is the flood and is my eternal flame. Written: February 2025 Note:The 5 Omnis of God are omnibenevolence; omnificence; omnipotence; omnipresence; and omniscience.

Tried hard to get it but you are the ripple, then you are the river--you lost me Time and space and gravitational waves wash over me Confused soul seeking God - You need a priest

This poem has beautiful rhyme, smooth rhythm, and apodictic belief in faith. It was sincere pleasure to read.

Thanks Hilda. I learned a new word today (apodictic). I was feeling very mortal when I wrote this. God bless.

A reverent poem from the Keefer? Why not. A God of infinity hard to comprehend, yet we believe it is true. Someday our understanding of time and space may expand. For now, we wait on his salvation... In his time - 2 Peter 3:8,9

Hello Keith. The rhyme, flavor and depth of this poem is right up my alley meaning, it's the kind of poetry that I most prefer to read and write about. I love the imagery of the river coupled with fleeting time along with God's (the Omni) ultimate control over life and death. It's a gripping and enigmatic piece of poetry. Both thre poem and you go to my FAV's and hope to visit you again. Write on, Terrell
