God
I’m gonna have to be
reminded
of your steadfast Love
once again
Because the truth is
I might be grasping
onto it,
by threads
these days
For it might be
one of the few things
That makes my heart sing
and reminds me
that there are good things to eat
and that art is worth making
in this world
For truly
sometimes
everything seems to be full
consumers–
you know them
the dullards
who for some reason
want to BURN everything
Down
And they seem to
multiply
like weeds
And at time Evil seems to flourish
And spread
Nothingness
Wherever they go
And so
I meditate on
you God
and remember
How Evil
fell once before
And I count
my blessings
And how you
reach out to me.
I remember all the enemies
—my enemies, but really
our enemies, because they
are the enemies of justice,
equity and good—
You have defeated
on my behalf before
that my eyes have seen
my ears have heard
internal
external
I have proof
And I take a deep breath
and remember
God I know that you
grow justice
blooms, fruits, flourishes
It becomes mighty
and beautiful
solid and wondrous, Like a towering
oak that I could build a treehouse in
and nestle in to sleep–
and that will continue to be safe even
in its oldest years.
And God
as I nestle, may I remember
you are always full of justice
even when all else fails
You will always stand for equity.
I can sleep knowing that.
Amen.
