in God's image

in God's image
by Everett A Warren

like a river
to the sea
our breath
carries with it
life
dreams
challenges
as we stand
upon a shoreline
infinite
we count what we rule
in the name of other Names
we claim what we have found
for it is our inalienable right to rule
are we not His heirs made in His image?
a pebble rolls away taken by the tide
minus one pebble longer the shore grows
our footing lost and we fall to a grain
of sand
skyward we glance fearing a bolt for our insolence
and in lightning's forked path we might find our answers
or in the rivers and the creeks branching out
the trees reaching high dividing as they ascend
so like to our lungs and our veins
that our image is everywhere
nature is
flowing in fractal patterns
each individual
yet the same
so named
chaos
like a river
to the sea
so are we
all
in God's image

I've always enjoyed this poem -- how it looks as well as sounds. Thanks for showing it.
