a poem on the fullness of scripture

created

with the melody of holiness

and designed

to be sanctified

by the thoughts of holiness

draw us to this book

divinely inspired

words that sink into our skin

sentences that reframe our world

external, internal

stars and rivers

forests and friends

the very breath

and voice of a King

in the chemical makeup

of every living thing

his word

all around

and in our hands
