Approaching your burning bush
Measured distance to not be singed by its flames
In the presence of your most excellent holiness
I wished for
Prayed for
A moment of your day
A portion of your lunch hour
Or coffee break
If God ever required a touch of caffeine in between creating the universe
Light and day
Heavens and earth
You can get the detailed listing in Genesis
Just like he told me
No name plate on his office door at home
Never referred to him as
I am that I am
But simply
Daddy
In whom I did trust
Who was the light ruling over my darkness
My provider
Never knowing how he provided my daily manna
But it was always there each night at 6
As we sat around the dinner table
In God I trust
Because he did
And demanded that I would also
Trust and obey
For there is no other way
To be happy in him
Who would not wait until the mist at midnight
To bring down his own plague upon my backside
Get me back online
And plugged back into the network of heaven
In God I trust
Nevermind it was on the dollar bill I passed off at the corner store
Orange soda and barbecue chips on summer days
The world would be right
Would straighten itself out each afternoon around five
As he turned the corner on East 25th
And parked his Volkswagen neatly
But noisily in front of the house
The devil left an hour earlier
Stood on the corner of East 26th and Broadway
And quickly caught the 102 bus out of town
God never passes away
Never thought of or spoken of in past tense
Because I trusted in him
And he trusted in Him
Who made my world perfect
Because in my most imperfect eyes
He was perfect
In my most perfect trust in God
