Finite Poems

Living finite lives in the infinite

Perhaps in wanting to understand 
We must abandon wonder
Whether willingly for the sake of rigour and strength 
Or unwillingly surrendering to the unexplained 
In those bylanes in order to explain 
We study, observe dissect 
Practise reductionism to the last atom 
After that when the head rises up again 
Devoid of wonder, innocent lost 
It sees natural vastness 
Sigh, explains it as infinity
Perhaps an expression of its own exhaustion  
Having played with the tiniest 
It has lost the power to comprehend 
The abundance of which is only a part

Over our dead love
all leaves of cosmic time fall
eternal tears too

Finite

a mindful watch 

lounges immanence

 simple measure

across the diamond sky

 stars fall

remarkable moves 

 visible light

blinding silent

 narration is the shimmer 

impressions exhibit 

 touch battered and savage

So Finite Compared To His Glory

It was a new routine , one she never tried before
All from what she had seen In looking for more
She had lost her zest and seemed to be burning out
But this was a test where they needn’t be any doubt

She woke up early on Sunday and began to get ready
Hearing what others would say, this she had to see
The church began to fill as she sat in the back
Reflecting upon her will, how every part seemed to lack

More people would arrive  then they turned on the lights
Her heart began to thrive at all the beautiful sights
Soon everyone would sing as the priest walked about
The joy this would bring in beginning to end this doubt

But what the priest had said in his sermon that day
Just stuck in her head and would not go away
As she laid there that night thinking about his story
Oh how life is so finite compared to God’s Eternal Glory

Isaiah 40:28 
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable

Initiation exudes elation,
though sometimes, a painful situation.
harmonious jubilation,
ending in forlorn frustration.

Balance achieved.

One Finite Day

Now stolen by the seconds
before blurred and moth eaten
Tomorrow still yet formed
Destiny take its chance
laughter strangles silence
and noise creates the home

Finite

The night- serene and dark,
We lay, mellowed in peace,
How silence would embark,
Down to its utter tease.

As no morning moves,
There’s news I don’t see,
only the outside shoos,
but this, this couldn’t be.

Our little bundle of joy
Is heard of- a distant keep,
I want a toy
To lull me back to sleep.

I can’t, there are people all around,
Could I ask them why?
Was it so low to sound
For anyone to pass by.

The crackles, crispy clatter,
Halls that stand still,
That’d been the matter,
Where holes would fill.

The smile, the chill we feel,
No longer a walk in winter,
Would ride us by wheel,
Yet as it'd wither,
There’s a lonesome squeal.

You ask to detest,
But this was a dream,
Sleek as silver, lest
We redeem.

Premium MemberThe Finite Awesomeness of God

It's a good thing to stop still
to consider who God claims to be
this eternal being has always been
who shall always be forever and free

This is the Lord God rules over all
nothing or nobody can stop his control
no man is able to thwart his will
master tactician is always his role

Ponder much on all of this
the finite awesomeness of God
living with a real godly reverence
knowing the presence of divine rod

So stop to be utterly still
bring to mind the knowledge known
of this God who's sovereign king
sent his son our sins to atone

Learn well of a living knowledge
that this God is supremely real
manifesting his awesome greatness
his great power you'll certainly feel

Utopia and Finite Soap Bubbles

UTOPIA
Land of endless time
Dreams of infinite range
Sweet, succulent, fine
A city without age

UTOPIA
Shinning in expansive glory
A lighthouse for weary souls,
Rid of war’s flashing gory,
A home without Holes.

UTOPI
An Eden in splendor
This Heaven on earth
Void of division of gender,
Class, race; brimming with mirth.

UTOP
A delicate bubble of perfection
God’s greatest intention
Popped by the hand of his creation
Guarded, leaving man without direction.

UTO
This is the story of the beginning
The account of the conVict’s Fall
For we slipped on soap in our sinning,
Our stride reduced to a crawl.

UT
Out of the Soap-maker’s hand
Comes the perfect Man.
A rEflection of that once-wondrous perfection
Now glorified in majestic Resurrection.

U
Bringing Heaven into hearts
And saving the spirit of the lonely voyager,
Calling all man, from every part, 
Every bubble-bursting forager:

Now, Come to Me, the Savior;
I redeem you from your failure.
Come to Me, the Prince of Peace;
Be free from hellish wandering.

Finite Reach of Terms

The pinnacle source
We strain to unfurl
The mind pulls apart

Seams of iron stand
Accrued throats of steel
Hammered against raw will

But the energy breaks with season
As moods uncovered what went
Secretly finite, scrawling new terms

Love, Finite

That hidden glade beyond the 
leaves
Where the sun don't shine and 
time doesn't cease
My eternal pyre burns for you
The apple ripens therein too
Borne with care, bore with 
cause
The lonely sundial without 
source
A hidden world
A hidden place
Maintained; a space for you 
and me
Where our love doth shine and 
time doth cease
