A Seed of the Divine

A piece of God
a seed of the divine
something of the infinite
of the beginning of time

Carried deep within us
within our beating flesh
walking here within
on this mortal path

===============
Carrying a Piece of God

In being made in the image
the image of God
each of us carrying
a piece of God within us
our lives, our place assured

Loved into existence
by the breath of God
given life
cared for by the creator
a world beautiful, sublime

An ordered universe
all in its place
We are here, as stewards,
to watch over the land
to carry on God’s grace
