EVERY THERE

Everywhere you go, the Will of God is there,
Whether you take cognisance of it or not,
It doesn’t care, it is always there, now, everywhere.
We used to know this once. We simply forgot.
It is every here and every there. And ever near.

No thought escapes its jurisdiction
No word and no action
Not even the finest intuitive perception
Will runs its course without Divine retribution
Every seed will come to fruition.

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Poems from the inner river

PLANE WINDOWS

We’re walking on air
It’s a carpet of sometimes white
Sometimes grey and fair
Domed by azure blue and bright
Cushion of cloud.

Creation, I’m sure, is proud
Of its laws, perfect and very (extra) ordinary
Treasures for all who seek and invent
Awe-inspiring, comforting, scary
They make us small and silent.
