Prophecy through Senses

 

Does God know us

Through our senses,

When we see and hear and touch

And smell and taste each other?

Does God need us for this?

How silly is the sense of smell

But without which

Taste would be disabled?

How does sight deceive?

Who listens as one should?

Who understands the learning that

Comes through touch?

God gave us these

And gave us work and play

There is so much more

 

But God gave us time as well

Chronos and Kairos,

Maddening how fluid

Or cut off

On the plain

Before we reach the mountainside

That takes us to cool, final places
