Purposeless Purpose: a new psalm 145

“You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing…” (Ps 145.16)

What if my purposeful buckets fall flat

instead of stocking security

they shackle my song?

What if my purpose is to wake up

cheering the crescent moon

and the holy rabbit vanishing before the fox?

What will I do with my purposeful buckets

big with performance, power

and pride?

Sing. Sing my savory song of all

that is

holy, divine, every good.

My bulging buckets are too small

to curb my purposeless purpose

glazed with grace and gratitude.

Bravo crescent moon

adorning dawn’s rose carpet

for wily fox and holy rabbit.

Sing. Sing my savory song of all

that is

holy, divine, every good.
