The Lord God
is beautiful
He lives within
the valley of my days
He stands
watches
and wrings His hands
as I
set the water to warm
fingers crossed
and stuff
the sink
with a handtowel
as the stopper
stopped long ago
as I take one of ten
of a pack
worn
and sink them into the water
and two of four
of a pack
and sink them
too
and
rub
the Dove
I wish organic
soap
beneath the trickle
and say
how wonderful
how divine
I have withstood time
I have taken
the necessities
of a woman in business
and parceled them to
and
within
a value pack
and have further
elongated
the value
beneath my tap
I have laid
the efforts of my days
against the cracked
tile of the tub
and
have thrown
in
upon
within the graying water
the rest that
keeps me whole
setting it
wringing
it
along the path
of my legs
my feet
that raise
me
each
day

What a beautiful poem. It is truly a good thought to be reminded that the Lord is with us, even as we achieve simple, daily tasks. The poem brings a sense of peace over me and makes me congnizant of my many blessings, right down to my little finger. Thanks for sharing! Peace, Light and Love to You and Yours, CordieB.
As you so eloquently point out, it is the subtle nuances all around us which are God’s way of asking us to become more observant in the now.
Hello there Pingback One! greetings.
CordieB! You have taken the words to another level, thank you in fact for the reminder that the Divine is at work at all levels, at all moments.
Liara! Yes, to become more observant in the now, someday to stay within the now.
