If you played with the universe,
planted the stars,
and set galaxies firmly in place -
what care would you have
for a heart's weary sigh
or the tears on a child's frightened face?

If you strode across time
where no boundaries exist,
with eternity's shell in your hand -
what care would you have
to count breaths of a dove
or to measure each granule of sand?

Comprehension of greatness
means knowing each fiber
is needed to weave the design;
the strands are the wholeness,
the whole is the strands,
and each leaf to a star is aligned.

Every whimper of pain
and each trill of delight
is the voice of the Ultimate All;
each molecule trailing
a thread of the power
that answered God's genesis call.


So if God formed the universe,
why should He care
for our burdens, our wounds and our fears?
We're part of His essence -
His essence in us -
through dimensions beyond human sphere.



(last stanza revised)

Dear Lary; This is truly an exquisite poem!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thank you for sharing these worthy thoughts,

I liked this one alot.  

especially this stanza

"Every whimper of pain
and each trill of delight
is the voice of the Ultimate All;
each molecule trailing
a thread of the power
that answered God's genesis call."

I like the anapestic rhythm of this.  It flowed very well.

Isn't it awesome that God who is so high in his knowledge of creation, also stoops low enough in care to note a falling sparrow and to know the number of hairs on our heads?  

God bless.

Stephen.

This was excellent! Sounds like someone had a deep thought. Let the thoughts wonder upon the awesomeness of His being.

Love it!

Lary,

Your poetry describes the expansiveness of God in that God exists as an intricate part of the smallest molecule and of infanite space.....  and yet, God is interconnected with us in our lives as well.   This is a marvelous meditation and I do thank you for sharing this with me in poetic form.   God Bless You,  Bob <><
