Reflecting on Matthew ch's 5 & 6




The God who makes himself to be "unseen"

by human beings in this stage of life,

does not himself need our good gifts or mean

to show us that we could take him as wife.


He comes as husband to the human race,

as groom who would look after and provide

for who would need his food and clothes and space

that's sheltered and could be a place to hide


as well as still, of hospitality.

He knows our needs for help, and weaknesses,

our stage of life, and immaturity.

Because of love, he'll help; that's what he says!


And in the private place (unseen by men

& women, round about who watch and see

a lotl of what transpires here), or when

folk are asleep, unconscious of what he


is doing ev'ry moment, he the Most

High, only wise, inhabits such as these:

(espesh'ly owned or haunted by his ghost)

each quiet time of solitude, since he's


the one who looks for, seeks for, honesty

& truth at core and heart of who we are,

responsive love, creates, will surely be

alive to where we head, and then how far


we've come, and time it takes to travel well,

then time we've got available. He'll tell

what's possible if we will banish hell

from his good world, not give it space to dwell.
