Where did you prepare me
while in Your celestial Chair-
from the tide’s current or Northern star?
And in Your Thoughts-
did you blow from lungs a melody-
my voice, to hum Your chiming wind?
or between Betelgeuse and Rigel
as the moon kissed a dark horizon
dip its ink for my adoring eyes?
In the olive Flood’s terrain,
did you choose my glowing palor,
this skin to dress up my frame?
How else, but by the pattern of Orion,
formed these tiny hands,
spindles of Your touching Grace?
even my thumping heart-
Your pulse through Royal blood
fleshly proof of Your Design?
What blend of Strong emotion
climaxed my will to choose Your Way,
embraced in love-so personally select?
Grateful to Your candid choice
I bow to Your Lordship,
but in fainting awe, ask,
How did you mix it all
and why to Thee,
a one and only
desperate
me?

This was so incredibly deep and profound. I can't even begin to describe how it left me taken aback.

I'm glad people can see how much deep emotion we can feel for our Heavenly Creator. As deep as any human emotion I have ever experience, and more. But frail man that I am, I sometimes chose less. If I always chose more, they would have my image in the Cathedrals. LOL! Maybe they do...the one with horns! Really now...I thank God for snipping off my horns and tail! Another passion play drawn out before my eyes...I love it! Peace & Love. Timothy

From "A Vessel Blessed"
Nodal spheres in silent motion,
colliding nebulae of air and matter,
Orion hunts and is accidentally killed,
pierced between Betelgeuse and Rigel.

Very nice Cookie, the use of the two outer stars in Orien's belt. Stays away from the ordinary. Good work.
