And Yet the Sparrow Falls

Not even the sparrow escapes his notice
And yet the sparrow falls
Forsaking the now for the eternal
Knowing the spirit never dies
Allowing destiny to play out its game

Arrogance disguised in Innocence
As if we could wish away a star
Shaping God in our own image
Rejecting all notions of the absolute
Hallucinating our own realities

Standing defiant before the throne
Angrily judging the judger
Hate replaces love, hearts hardened
Freely destroying our own salvation
Tears flowing from the Father’s eyes
Puzzled by our choice to die.
