I imagine a breath of celestial air;
I say I'll face the ground,
Afraid to see the Almighty.
But how?
If Jehovah is above and below,
Within and without,
Beside, behind, and before,
Everywhere at once...and more,
I'll have nothing in store:
No attitude, no posture,
No stumbling alibis...
No critical questions arise,
No time left to philosophize...
He sees me throughout;
He sees through my eyes;
He's in my thoughts;
He knows my truths...and lies.
I will attempt quietness
Though my mind rushes on;
He is here in tumult & solitude
Present in the garden and in the multitude.
