Windows and Widows
Does the orphan child have a name
Does the widow know she was once a bride
Does God know I exist
In this World we create as if there is no consequence
A widow we make
Where there is bondservant
Tomorrow we take the master
When there is no bride for the groom
There is no groom
Blind eye for matching tooth
The grinding of the wheel turns and there is no loom
No thread bearing needle
Without clothes aren’t we but naked
Without food starving
Without God nothing
When we take ourselves and gaze upon ourselves
Will we see as God does
Or will we see as the mad King
God of oblivion
Caster of shadows
Deceiver of Nations
Father of lies
Destroyer
Will the cock crow thrice and we be counted
And counted to where
Will we be like Peter
Or will we be like Daniel
Will we be with the Lion
And the Lamb
Will the Son of God be our rest
Will we bear our own iniquity
Will you hear me know
Does God know we exist
In existence is God
God is existence
Embrace him we must
For when we are laid low down and in pieces
Who picks them up
Who tills the field when we cannot
Does not the fool get cast aside for when they cannot bear
Do we deserve it
When we are but children we can feel the very presence of God
When we are adults are we still not but children to God
What is eternity but a fleeting moment in the eyes of God
When a second passes to us
To God many years follow
Is it gold you seek
Does fortune favor the wise
Do the wicked take that which belongs not to them
Is there justice in the end
Does it hurt to die
Surrounded in the valley are lily’s you say
Do they look beautiful like you
Or do they wither and die like me
I am but a fisherman lost at the heavenly sea
With no lighthouse
No mooring mast
Wishing for even a deserted planted
Anything but the drowning that is to come
Will I burn in hellfire
Will I be redeemed
Did I not seek first the Kingdom of God
Did I not do a good job
Did they listen
Did they here
Are they coming with me
Is it the depths of the abyss
Or the mire of fog
Maybe it’s the light of the Lord our God
I think I see it coming on the horizon
I think I see God’s bliss
