“All Things Right” ~But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. [Amos5:24] by, Nicole S Oliver Snyder
Making All Things Right
Minutest of the infinitesimal
In gravity’s faint force, perceived,
Yet bears that energy
The weight of collapse
Supernovae’s center demise
Convey with you its secret;
Origin’s designator: neutrino.
Epicenter of a single cell
Swaddled in protein weave, tractable,
Yet commands the cell
Duplicating double helix
Energy’s creative source,
Trans-human, exceeding 99% identical;
Life: deoxyribonucleic acid.
Essential to all organisms proliferate
Given to disequilibrium, vapor,
Yet generates matter, all forms
Ornate biochemical scaffolding
Fundamental C-H-O-N-P-S
(though P’s having a bad minute);
Primordial ingredient: atom.
Not a thought experiment of fairness
Nor a lady’s balancing act, scrupulous,
But bears, commands, generates, Being
Piercing time and space, Relating,
Flow lavish water, quenching
Making right amid all creation, Creator,
God’s intent: Justice and Righteousness
Good and Gracious God, I celebrate your mindful attention on me and on ______. Thank you, for the work you are doing in and through us. Amen.
