First Line: Today, new-born from all my yesterdays
Last Line: Then in faith I release it and wait the will of god.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


Today, new-born from all my yesterdays,
Lies in my cupped hand, a fragile, prophetic thing
Just broken from its chrysalis with wings aflutter.
What far flight shall it make with buoyant pinions?
What fateful tomorrows shall it breed
Before it folds its worn wings
In the last twitchings of its dreamless sleep?
I hold today in my hand and watch its unfolding.
Then in faith I release it and wait the will of God.
