Quasi-star, Quasimodo, Quasimandias for sure
Eating stars, black holes, and planets, celestialities galore
It's no wonder it's so big with an appetite like that
Galumphing through the universe not caring where it's at
The size of a hundred thousand skies, you go just where you please
The only thing left in your wake won't even raise a breeze
Nature abhors a vacuum and this might just be the model
Of what happens when God himself is leaning on the throttle
Of a cosmic train that's runaway and making it's own tracks
Leaving holes where 'ere it goes, whether white or red or black
They'll be here until the end, where they'll spend their final eons
At the end of which comes something we can't readily agree on
Which is fitting for this splitting and emitting long enduring
A Providential palindrome... as enigmatic as alluring
He keeps his promises
the marvelous work of God
prayer-answering
promise-keeping
caring living holy God
of the past
the present
& to be
speak o Lord
your servant hears
fill my inadequacy
with you
make me your vessel
and renew
el shaddai
my covenant king
divine next-of-kin
who pays my debt
who bears my sin
Lord I can't
you can
so I leave my outcome
unforced
my power of choice
is you
stay close
set me apart
different
a light-bringer
a pilgrim
with no hiding place
I contemplate
my eternity
according to your mercy
I remember
your invitation
the welcome
of your arms
into your kingdom
of priests
the unexpected
in
a purpose-filled life
the sheer wonder
of your grace
faith's reality
a do-nothing salvation
the gift of God
you saved us!
a time to sing
Moses song
a persuasive testimony
of mighty acts
of a Lord who
acted again&again
that healing tree
manna(glida) for free
undeserved
unmerited
what forbearance
patience
what love. what grace
a leap of light
into light
a spirit of trust
faith met adversity
providence
forward-looking
uplifted hands
a hand upon the throne of God
a throne
to touch for
truth&life
revelations
to trust
as we stand
before the throne
messages
of thought
of words
&deeds
so spiritual
prayer is an incense
of a quiet spirit
this strength of fellowship
in a tent of meeting
personal
private
a place
of communion
with Him
truth in every symbol
in the presence
of the Holy one
among sinners
a simmering light
a seven branched stand
we change He does not
word for word
duty for duty
this undeflected God
our substitute
&propritiation
a presence
at the centre of our lives
devoted
to detail
persistent
ever watchful
ever caring
marks His presence
bringing near
on
eagles
wings
Ours is not a friendship sired by accident.
and though the misplaced days
I enumerated as grains of sand,
Apart, we both were as sonar blips without detection,
But then from a heart's depth,
A letter, a call, an e-mail, a visit;
we were no longer as candles, detached, in low flame,
Time and circumstance had been abridged.
Our friendship, once again, has become a game
having no rules and without rhyme or reason;
Because a time of absent desire had turned to willingness,
A misplaced friendship was granted new life;
and because one besought,
Through God's Grace the love that exists between two families
was born.
We Love you S & R
