POEM: Dealt God’s Hand – Owed to Matthew 6:25-34 [Do not worry]

Do not worry — look more closely…

Dealt God’s Hand – Owed to Matthew 6:25-34 [Do not worry]

Toward the end
As my life plays
Out
I might have been
Strung long
As some dare quest in
Sew what
Thread bear
Weep knot
As should upon
Bye life
You find me
In a pile of crap
Seamingly impenetrable
Keep
Looking
For the adamantine soul
With butt the finger
Prints of my life
Pointed words pointing
A mist
To know a veil
Riding forever
A tsunami of love
Fearlessly serfing
In cryptic happiness
Awe ways in trouble
Not worrying
What?!
I ware?!
In the hands of
The Great Clotheser
Taking care
Of tomorrow
A prayer daily bred
Never offering stone
An open heart broken
Tendering perpetual communion

NOTE: The last lines include an allusion to Matthew 7:9,11 — “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
