Grace and whim

Grace and whim                                                                                      
 
Creation began on a Whim;
sustained by Divine Grace.
 
One terrible attribute of grace and whim –
both are devoid of rationale;
 
beyond the grasp of human will.
We’re ever at the mercy of God’s Grace,
 
a mercy best described as fathomless
both for its infinite depth
 
and its incomprehensibility.
And our devout efforts and pursuits
 
toward liberating ourselves
from the grace of that original Whim
 
seem to be merely benign ways to spend the fated,
inevitable terms of our individual confinements.
 
O child of God, the most tenacious
of human attachments is the desire for autonomy.
