"God who is beyond fullness did not bring creatures into being out of any need of his, but that he might enjoy their proportionate participation in him and that he might delight in his works seeing them delighted and ever insatiably satisfied with the one who is inexhaustable."
Quaking, quailing shook from bower to earth-slaking
Quick-gold, yare-shimmered and shorn
Leaf-lapping on wind’s heavingbreath breaking
Here held, each leaf a cathedraled cloister borne
Garnished in praise, gelded in gold, light-sheening
Soft speaks: praises Him, all Sustainer
Word wrought, holds to being.
Sifting-gold lift praise! Sheening, richleaves fleeting
O praise Him, O blessed Son of God!
The inspiration for this poem came from the same spot as the one below {hence the similarities}. Hebrews chapter one speaks of Christ sustaining all that is, through His essence- everything was created through Him, and everything is sustained by Him. It is an incredible thing to dwell upon and contemplate.
