Contemplating time in the life of the creator. |
| Does God Wait for His Toast? Does God wait for his toast? Does he prefer instant coffee To home brewed Because of the time it saves? For him, is time irrelevant? Is a moment an eternity? Or eternity but a day? And how does it factor in? Does God ever pace the halls, Anticipating what is to become Of mountains, And streams that slowly Carry the mountains Out to sea? Or can he blink his eye And see in an instant What is to become Of evolution, erosion Of what has passed And is now passing? And if he blinks What does he miss? A child’s cry? A species death? The slow whisper of a loved one’s breath? If I had the choice I would slow it all down, Take it all in, And rejoice in the beauty Of a summer’s day, Out by the lake Chasing tadpoles Through the eddies And tall grass marshes So the question remains ~ Does God wait for his toast? |
