The Touch

From the palm of God’s hands
we are created imcomparable
knitted together in the womb
from the dust of stars and a soul
radiant mirror of the heavens above.

Our eyes search beyond the horizon
as we wander the pathways of life
the cosmos enveloping us
in the invisible embrace of His love.
With His touch we seek eternity

while hidden in our mother's womb
until the day when our soul breaks free
and transcends our visible life.
On the journey, we reflect the light
of his perfection with our touch

bridging the distance between souls
where they reach the precipice of eternity
not only for that humble moment
but until we meet Him again
where we find sublime peace
our soul's eternal rest.

I wrote this for a lovely woman who tragically lost her husband and her child on the same day. There are things that we do not understand about life, but we have to view life as a tapestry. Now we see only the backside of the tapestry, full of knotted and jumbled threads, but in the end we will see the beauty of the front of the tapestry that God has woven.
