Diverting-Your Path Poem by Mark Heathcote

Diverting-Your Path

Rating: 5.0


God is watching us like a bird on a holly branch
God is watching us from his fatherland,
God is watching us from a nest he never leaves
Watching us like a gundog that always retrieves.

God is watching us in a river flowing by
God is watching us like a beady-eyed dragonfly,
God is watching us from a night sky, black as ink
It's a kind of a methodical-courtship dance I think

God is listening to every lilt and rise, beat in your heart
God is listening to the song the source he's made impart
God is listening to every note and not by rote
He hears and remembers every feeling, and word we denote.

God is listening to all our prayers
God is listening to even the fiend that swears
God is listening to us on a fiery spiralling stairwell
Diverting-your path constantly from going to hell.

God is listening to every lilt and rise
God is listening to all our prayers
God is watching us like a bird
God is watching us in a river
A beady-eyed dragonfly
Watching us from a night sky, black as ink
It's a kind of a methodical-courtship dance I really do think.
