The Play of Light on Water

The Play of Light on Water

 

I will pray as if God hears me

act as if He watches

I will reason with God

and be met with silence.

I will destroy myself to bring about God’s Kingdom on earth

recognize God’s Kingdom is not of this earth

sing hymns as if praise curls up to Heaven

like the blooded compliance offered by Abraham to God.

I will falter at the face of God

shrink back from the bloody knife with which man murdered God 

not many years before

nor yet wiped clean.

Live as if it's good to live

walk in light, yea though I sense the shadow

feel the breeze and be certain it is the movement of my angel’s wings

as if I alone am not a natural thing.

If I were to pray I would pray like this.

Yes, good, keep searching. The bloody knife was made and used by humanity. Walk as though those who love you still love you when you are not in their direct presence. One true God indeed. Angel wings have been constructed. We have all have faith but it comes in many forms. Some deceptive some true. Always a challenge.

God is real and loves us all.
