Rest—Ovi Poetry Challenge

Six days were all creation took
as Moses noted in his book
and then God rested. Stop and look
and see what He has done!

Who would have thought of it at all?
A universe! Then came the fall.
We messed things up, but do recall
He came and rescued us.

Ronovan Hester offers the inspiration “rest” for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted in Poet’s Corner.

The poem was also inspired by Michael Wilson’s note from the summer of 1975: “God can do and will do that which no man would ever think of trying.”

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.
