Apocrypha: Psalm 3 (Rubiyat Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Author of every great and good desire,
You do walk in the raging sun of fire,
in the hearts of mere mortal man you do
thoughts and actions of Your great love inspire.

You are the caretaker of everything,
do omnipresent dwell where we are living,
know the inner secrets in the heart of man
where in nature the works of Your hand sing

of Your great love, loyalty and righteousness
while man still wander in great rebelliousness,
You do bring the times of peaceful tranquillity,
is the little voice that talks in consciousness

where You do wander in eternal bright light,
do with love care for humans in Your great might.
