The Giver
In and out the cave of heart
blood flows in and out flows life
irrigating plants and mammals
feet top tree head heights
sipping food from earth and clouds
and from sun its milky light
growing beauty plants of usage
birthing seeds that fall and sprout
in perennial circle cycle
sealed with made by God Eternal
that reseed and multiply
In its labor splendid sun
spins itself with child like fun
holding hands with stars and planets
circling around their Milky Galaxy
in a sparkling wobbling dance
on a mystery far away quest
to a kingdom of pure light
where all people good and kind
ever faithful, never lying
peace in mind and joy in heart
sing their gratitude to God
Giver of all things that are
earth with majesty of mountains
liquid waters and sky with stars
food to nourish, springs to drink
and a mind with which to think
as if that seemed not enough
Himself He gave as spouse
birthing seeds of light
called Christians
ego crucified to His image
growing in love multiplying
purified with Him to rise.
Who is like unto God?
Noone is like unto God the Giver
Who is holier and greater
than the receiver.
