Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Isaiah 37:16









Expression Alone

God even in the most remote,
far away, hard to find places:
the deserts, the mountains,
deep in the oceans, outer space—
You’ve created such beauty,
even when no one may
ever see it.

So I will follow suit:
write my poetry, paint my paintings,
sing my songs, dance my dances,
though they may never inspire
or encourage another person.
I’ll just simply express who I am,
like You did.

And I thank You for those projects
that languish on my computer files,
hide in the storage space, or
hang in a back room. I trust,
that they have served their purpose,
or somehow You will still use them
for my good.
