Elementary Thoughts Poem by Gert Strydom

Humanly we leave words on paper,
while we try to determine the language
of Him who is the core of the Bible story.

*

We take things consisting out of flesh and blood,
that has got living energy, want to take the elements out,
while we search for the code of life in mortal material.

*

With our mental capacity we are valued equal
to animals that mutate
while the Bible teaches us about a creation story.

*

We think that we know the figure road of the universe,
compose theories that declare things in space
while amazed we do look at the great works of God.


*

Three dimensional we see things,
with length, breadth and depth in which things do fit,
while immaterial we do grope at the boundaries of love.
