Can you count the dewdrops – v3

Can you count the dewdrops on living flower petals,
the number of stars above or grains of sand on the seashore,
Can you count the hairs on your heads, the number of your breaths,
Do you know how many minutes are in the sum of your days,
How could you, for they are a mystery known only to God...
 
We know only by faith, by striving, by journeying forward,
by trusting, by believing God knows us fully, from before
we were created, in the stillness of our mother's womb,
in secret, the number of hairs on our heads, our minutes,
the path of our lives, the numbers of our days…
 
God alone knows His plans, our calling, our purpose,
while we strive on this earth, while we walk, while we wander,
while we sojourn, while we journey, believing in God,
in God’s promise, for a plan, a path, for a purpose,
our joy, fulfillment, far beyond what we understand…

skin of crinkled cellophane

skin of crinkled cellophane
blistered skin of flesh
Color like the corona,
Above the arc, the edge,
The plane across
which we traverse,
Alive by the street...
 
life in the fabric,
The living evermore,
Ancient yet enduring,
Flesh puckered, ablaze,
Coming into view,
A metaphor of the universe,
Framed against the grass...

We cannot count the dewdrops, the mist,

the grains of sand on the seashore,

We cannot count the dewdrops - v2

We cannot count the dewdrops

the number of minutes in our days,
All of these are a mystery known only to God... 
 
God knows us fully, from before we were born, 
in the stillness of our mother's womb,

the number of hairs on our heads,
the numbers of our days, the path of our lives,
God alone knows His plans, our calling,  

Our purpose while we walk this earth...

God doesn’t need my help – v4

God doesn’t need my help

His plan is already perfect;

but I seek to help

giving God suggestions.

I don’t trust fully

I cannot wait patiently,

blundering forward

on my own path.

I need to wait,

I need to listen;

God’s way is perfect

without one flaw.

Sarai’s Plan – v2

Sarai’s Plan,

the fly in the ointment,

the division rising still

two brothers, two nations;

Not God’s plan

but she was impatient,

two houses rising

from Abram’s seed

Why can’t we wait

for God’s fulfillment

so much pain, sorrow

when we go it alone;

Another structure rising

when God’s way is simple

Knowing we can do it

when we should wait on the Lord.
