simplicity itself

something
short and simple
if not sweet
for
God is long and complex
but likes short and simple
too
I’m thinking

I love you
I made you
I made you out of love
and now for love

fallen
as the Calvinists propound
and sorry that
that happened though
not sorry
for the will in your

and so
love struggles
not in me
though I mourn
and
yes
and anger in perfection
that is mine

still hoping for love
each time
on Earth
as is
and as we might be waiting
all of us
‘til time
