an image of God – 2 – v5

What do you think He looks like,
even if God is our Father,
an image of God, Creator,
the picture in our mind’s eye
of the eternal God, our Lord;
Trying to imagine, with limited vision
to conjure the limitless God.

Something of comfort,
perhaps a bearded Gandalf,
or maybe brilliant light,
without form or shape;
but a certainty, a Presence,
the power to save us, to shape us,
to make the whole world right.

Trying to find the infinite
to define unlimited power
our vocabulary inadequate;
seeking to find God in the familiar
to see God as a mortal, human,
not something impossible
the formless unseen.
