The atemporal Godhead thought of time
So many flourishes, wild whorls, winged cherubim & horns
festoon the Lord God, our Creator’s, work of timely art,
His panoply of giants, penitence & unicorns
that one can scarcely wrap one’s head around it, for a start.
The Lord is atemporal, yet He thought up time & space!
This is the very benchmark of originality:
We couldn’t do that even if our milling minds should race.
One sees the restless artist in His personality:
He tells Hosea to go find a harlot & get hitched,
but also tells the prophet Jeremiah not to marry
(this quite vividly). The narratives were switched
around like swords, a process that one finds, at times, quite scary.
But one is resigned to be calligraphy & scribble;
thanks Him for the scenery, the free will & the kibble.
