An Imperfect Life

poetry by Fr. Harold Macdonald

The Series

 

What is Greater than God?

 

What is greater than God, the infinite?

Sorrow! For God it drowns, it overflows.

The might of God in tears! And down S/He goes:

Was there ever such a fearful sight?

 

What, smaller than the single nano-byte?

Love! Which comes as close as one can be,

God’s Self in absolute proximity

without diminishing our little light.

 

What is faster than eternity

which holds all centuries in a single act?

The instant Word, Who quickly births the needed fact

inseminates, gives truth maternity.

 

What need is more than God’s for you and me?

Ours for God! For joy and happiness, for endless revelry!
