A Psalm In The Twenty First Century (Virelay) Poem by Gert Strydom

From light years far away in space and time
You are the architect
who takes care of a planet the size of a dime;
a far off small object.

You ordain our days and to us intimately connect
as a kind of loving being
giving sanctuary, even if crudely we do You reject,
with You are disagreeing.

Still You are protecting everything that is living,
constantly giving light
even to those who are in rebellion, unbelieving
who yearn for the night

and of Your kindness we do not have true sight,
we judge You incorrect
as a supreme being that rules by force and might,
giving You no respect.
