POETRY
Omnipresent
Presence wrapped in particles.
Held
Within an atom’s womb.
Cradled in creation’s sum.
Living possibility.
Glue
Of existence.
Intellect that interacts
On every plane.
Through every strand weaved
Though unperceived.
Binding.
Quiet.
Pulling shadows in place.
Holding space
For time, matter, and thought.
Gentle as mist.
Weighted as rock.
Burning life with a human frame,
Yet roaming wild and untamed.
Emulsified through time’s pool.
“Omnipresent,” read by Mary Grace van der Kroef.
Things Made
Man has made many things
From God’s creation.
Art appropriation,
Amassed adoration
For plagiarism.
Shadows
of a masterpiece
Already living, breathing.
Washed out copies.
Fragments of His truth.
Does He see us thieves?
Or children
Bringing tracings
To hang upon his fridge?
Marvelling at our works,
Unaware that they are His.
Lost with in our making?
Immersed
in creations flow.
Breathing in His presence
yet worshipping path stones.
Forgetting to follow them
To His heart.
“Things Made,” read by Mary Grace van der Kroef.
