Over The Things Of God (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

I saw the stars, star-clusters, nebulas and pulsars in the night
planets, moons, comets and the asteroids in their glittering-play
and wanted to tell about the great unnamed secrets of God,
the water-masses of oceans and rivers did tell about omnipotence,
I wanted to comment about Your holiness, Your greatness with awe and respect,
You do exist outside the realm that time sets for man,
in the endless struggle between the forces of heaven and hell
and constantly I searched and sometimes waited upon Your inspiration.
The man-made idols, pyramids and sphinx could say nothing,
of the unswayable wisdom that do bring about things do set and guide them,
I remembered that at creation You glided over the formlessness
and this I wanted to uncover to all humanity
but then I prayed to You to touch my words and for greater insight:
You told me that You died for humanity as a ransom and do live again.
