You’re gonna
jump into that wild blue
kiss that crazy girl
move there
stay here
After all
This number
not that one
made this cosmic wild
This note
not that one
made the song right
This word
This job
This color
This tree
This breeze
This name
Here
Now
Me
You
God said
Let there be
There was the universe
unsung and unseen
as yet not made
waiting and desperate to burst forth
And God waited
until a certain time
this time not that
God said LET
Let the world burst forth
Let the desire and the glory
burst forth into being
The fear over this and not that
Burst apart into being
The possibly better universe
Split open to reveal the real
And light spilled out
to all the seers and visionaries
all the mothers
who loved this guy not that one
And brought forth
this child and not that
And so Bach’s cello suite
And African peanut soup
And the miles of raspberry fields near my house
Came to be
This is the day
The Lord has made.
This reminds me of your piano playing…in your dad’s house, years ago…of you jumping to Keith Green….of peanut butter in raisin bran…of a time when life was more potential than memory.
I’ve read it a few times now. You should do more of this.
Thanks Mike! That does bring back memories!
Hi! I was just googling for a picture of feet in water. Clicked on this. I too love Jesus and all the amazing things of God’s creation like trees and watermelon. I also love playing the Piano and learning. Just a neat little meant to be moment : )
