I have known about this poem for sometime, but it wasn't until recently that it has meant so much to me. In the world we live in it is a constant struggle for me to place my trust anywhere. Time and time again I need to remind myself that we are part of a bigger story, that there is purpose in life, and that there is hope. Not just a hope for tomorrow, but a hope for today.
Fatigue
My God is only as big as I let him be and
I am not gonna limit my God with my disbelief
My God has always, always been there for me
and I am not gonna limit my God with uncertainty
I DON'T HAVE MUCH! (but it might amount to a mustard seed)
I beg for miracles and then I breathe
I scream for signs and wonders and then my heart keeps its beat
But you've got to go through the fire to be refined - yeah!
There's a huge sense of helplessness in a hopeless time...
Well, I am yours and you are mine, and we are one in a kind.
So sang the birds and the bees
when I was not strong enough to sing anything;
if you care and provide for the least of these,
then how much more will you look over me?
I don't have much, but it might amount to a mustard seed,
and I've seen you move mountains and
command the winds and waves of the seas
on a whim so much smaller than me, singing:
God is bigger than the air I breathe; the world will leave.
And God will save the day, and all with sing
my glorious.
-Levi the Poet
