Attempting to Describe Him

9.27.09


Is there a poet in the sanctuary

A lowly man in the midst

Of an eternal Being

Able to summon words to describe Him?


An impossible task to take on

For mere words are unable

To contain even those things He has done

And some people interpret them as token fable


Oh dear and intelligent man

Don't be so naive to think

That God does not hold in hand

The very words that will describe Him


There is a poet in the holy sanctuary

Summoning words from the depths of soul

By listening to the movements of silence

Among icon and stained glass window


God does give, and man will receive

A frame of sentence and stanza

To picture the glory of Him we believe

And there... finding a feeling that's contagious
