Andrew Fairchild Poet Prose Poetry

Sometimes, God Plays Charades

Sometimes, God plays Charades
And expects me to understand,
And I don’t.

But sometimes,
I get it!

(Or, do I?)

Is it pride that tells me that I understand?
Sometimes, I know I do…
But that’s not always!

Who gets it all the time, I wonder?
Probably a Saint!

Ah, well!

Richard Lamoureux March 18, 2020 at 9:37 AM I don’t think that anyone gets it all the time. I’m thankful for the occasional glimpse. Andrew Fairchild April 17, 2020 at 2:48 PM So am I, thankful for the occasional glimpse. God is Joy, and Grace and Mystery all folded into a fire enfolding itself, and which no-one can see! Keep well! Thanks for reading!

P.S. Awtry February 10, 2020 at 7:45 AM Yes, the mysterious ways of God! Like the old song says, "we'll understand it better by and by." Perhaps because in a sense we are at war and no soldier is given all the details of the battle plan? Andrew Fairchild February 11, 2020 at 2:36 AM That's true! We are not given all the details, or we might retreat in fear!
