Split Wide Open

Split Wide Open The world of God’s miraculous, Imbedded deep with creation’s love, Split wide open With the lightning of grace Fragile shells of human bondage Cannot contain their foolishness, Nor feathers in the whirlwind Neither dandelion seeds Of crystal puffs - dizzy imbedded joy - Uncontrollable laughter explodes, On paths of effervescence, Yearns to burst through Frozen crusts of icy shame Freezing clods of unexplainable remorse, Floods in the wilderness of unworthiness, Little bits of serendipity, Untamed marvels – let loose - In mystical coincidence grow No fruitless plains, No impotent fertility, Wandering hearts harvest wonder In seeds redeemed from Eden’s scandal, Shattered pieces of providence’ paradise, A universe split wide open, Plans and diagrams dissolve in astonishment When eternal compassion bewilders logarithms Astounds in surprises to marvel At the fertile unbound universe When two weary unsuspecting paths Link outside astral planes And touch the fingertip of brimming joy! 6-11-22 Contest: This or That Contest Title: Split Wide Open Sponsor: Edward Ibeh

Harry, I can't believe I missed your beautiful message! Please forgive my delay in answering your email.

Love is indeed the mysterious face of God. Sending you blessings of the miraculous split wide open!
