Let God Be God

With a blink of an eye
You move mountains,
one exhale
and the sun rises.
You are God.
And yet, I try to create
You
to fit
me.
I confine
I limit
I humanize
The Almighty
and I become god.
Then I wonder
why
my life falls apart

like paper soaked in water too long
why

 I lose control
(I never had)
why

satisfaction
is too sizes too small

why

love is not enough
to keep people,
why

my soul yearns for truth
as a stomach starving for food

why

my feet move

but I travel nowhere.
O LORD,

You alone are God

the one real thing
the bread of truth
the satisfier of souls
the binding Love
the one in control
holding me together
and impelling my feet 
to go.

Oh! How the mountains move!
And the sun shines!
When I
let God be God.
