Who I Am
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
—Psalm 91:1 NIV
I’m loved by God
safe under his wings and secure
though the world is on its tilted axis
often I’m off balance
pillows are thoughts not as grounded as puffy clouds
I travel over and under arms - memories
of past steps, foretelling future
fluidity of feeling but gently tethered
I read scripture
pray, obey, love my fellow man
in the Spirit, the best I can, perfect
though not in my power
the ethereal takes over and changes lives
lies exposed, incised; friction sharpens, bonds kinship
I touch eyeballs, expose the light
the touch of God felt between us - a first-rate hope
