Poetry

“God is growing.” –Rainer Maria Rilke

God is growing
right out of a
20 year old box.
He was supposed to fit
snugly and securely there
where He could provide
those always faithful
and always fitting answers,
but He is growing,
and I barely know
what the questions were,
much less any answers,
and I love it,
mostly.
