More than Happen-stance

PAD challenge Day 19...write an authority poem.
It's a bit of a dull-ish polish today;-)

We, beneath an Authority we cannot fully see
But glimpse in sky-wide, country-side and moiling majesty
Of heaving sea, admit that something more than happen-stance
Holds stars in space yet breath-soft, traces lace upon the branch
That reached into the winter cold, blue afternoon until
Authority we cannot see endowed the bud to spill
Another season of leaf, green upon reef dull and brown
Where we half-stumble, half-tumble between Time's up and down
And cannot pause the turning page or wage a war against
He who rules earth and heaven with far more than happen-stance

Janet Martin

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
Ps.103:8
