From A Confined Perspective Poem by Gert Strydom

I am eager to agree
with the great poet Lina Spies
that what we know, we comprehend and say about God
comes from a human perspective

of which the range is confined
and all things on this planet is God’s property
the sparrows, dogs, cats loved by me
also belongs to Him

and in His created paradise everything was perfect,
maybe on the new earth
things will also be like that
and let believe who wants to

that the heaven is only for people,
I choose to disagree.

Ps. I do not say this out of a dogmatic perspective
but God himself turns love into meaning.
