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.
