This Morning It's As If God Looks Upon His World Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

It's another lovely day with bird-song,
yellow-weavers twitter while the morning-star still shines,
and for moments I think of you,
there is not a cloud in the blue sky
but for you my great longing stays,
it's as if the morning-star secretly beckons
while the song of the birds rejoice in my ears
and mere beauty is caught in moments.
This morning it's as if God looks upon His world,
do notice the destruction and pain of humans:
as if every moment holds something new and surprise,
where people in the Ukraine do not deserve this madness.
It's as if His will do unfold for you and me
