Psalm

The water is like glass
With ripple after ripple
Caused by the kisses of the wind

So transparent,
So clear,
I see right through it
Yet at the same time…
I can’t.

Today the lake is
A one-way glass.
Instead of seeing through
The window
I know is there
It seems a mirror.

And I stare into it…
Questioning.


The beauty, Oh God
Answers my inquiries
As to where you are.

And I can’t help but think
That I’m surrounded by
Watches,
Like Paley.

But I think even the rocks
Are as watches
And the lake is a timekeeper too
With hands and a face
Displaying not time
But You
