poetry

i am up late every night wishing i could rest and trying to get at my heart, so here is what i have come up with for this particular night.

"In the beginning God"*
said
"Before Abraham was, "I AM"**
THAT I AM"***
the fulfillment of all the law and prophets
"ye sons of Jacob"°, "be not afraid: I am."°°
Or to that effect,
I jumble together because
He is just that infinite.
His words, more precise,
more perfect,
pristine like honey in golden drops
on the breath of the Word,
profitable in all things,
let me curl up in His arms,
and cry to my Daddy
in heaven.
Amazingly, in what may be
the form of a lion alongside a lamb
but to my eyes shows the comfort
of a bear-shape
jar He holds not words of honey
(those contained only by His breath)
but the tears of His choice love.

*Genesis 1:1 **John 8:58 ***Exodus 3:14 °Malachi 3:6 °°Matthew 14:27

i am not a poet, well, i wrote that poem, so i suppose i am, but i mean its not my thing. all im really trying to say is, i tried.
