The 100 Word Challenge this week gave us divine. I added the picture because it, along with pondering the word divine while out walking, inspired my hand at a poem. Enjoy and be sure to check out other responses via the button below.
What is divine?
A state of knowing?
A state of being?
A God-like countenance
upon a lesser creature?
A way of speaking
to those less knowing?
How can divine be seen?
In a little flower along a path
In a smile, a child’s laugh
In the pauses between life’s moments
In the kindness of a helping hand
In the moments before dawn
when the world holds its breath
Who becomes divine?
The friend who calls
The tired parent still patient
with a sleep-troubled child
The kindness of a stranger helping
just because it is needed
It is within us all.
I guess we can all be a little godlike in our own ways… I like that.
