Both are here, creation and creator.

The sun reaches down steadily
A warm hand at the small
Of my back, leading me to
The bright day

Fully complying I sway
To the lake’s song
My heart swells with the winds
Bird-like laughter

And though life compels me
“Move faster! Faster!”
I bring my pace
Another stairwell down.

The stars are here,
Both creation and Creator
Both are hidden and here
And just over my shoulder,
A steadying presence
At the small of my back.

    Beautifully written. It glides and gently urges you along.

    Is that steadying at the small of your back God? I echo what Dee said…it’s like riding along in a boat just letting the water guide you.

    yes, big bro, it’s God. AND GOD ONLY! No princes in shining armor for me.
