Homeland

Homeland                                                                                         

God being infinite and endless,
how might I ever come to a conclusion!

Rather than plucking out all these loose ends
and judging the whole by the particular,
   
when will I feel sufficiently thwarted,
weary enough to leave my work

for the restful shade of His promise?
When will I ever trust His Word?

Enough to keep quiet,
to actually grasp its meaning

in a tongue foreign to my own –
the lost language of my homeland.

O child of God, there is a cloth spread
with bread and wine under His tender branches.
