Pondering the Power of God

Pondering God’s Power

Here on this much  less 
than a millimeter speck of space, 
I imagine 
the shape and size
of my soul, the depth
of my growing soul
held in God’s hands
and the astounding sight
it must take to see 
frequent tears…

Pondering the scope, 
the power of God choosing 
to create or to eliminate;
to crush or to heal;
to  wait and watch 
or to intervene;
our protecting shepherd, our shield
in the cosmic war
of evil battling good…

the power of God 
to reveal and to conquer;
to speed meteors;
    to affect destinies;
to ask for obedience,
    yet grace with free choice; 
and, to touch when asked…

Rejoicing in the 
power of God’s
Love-Held Sacrifice,
and the offering
of Hope within
    Redemption…
The power of
Grace and Truth
Lives,
While we try to race
from out-reaching
   shadows, so we
keep to flower-
bordered paths, and
the faint beauty
we sense
from beyond us
of choirs singing 
“Alleluia”
…pulls us forth by Faith.
