Dawn Treader

A commentary series on Psalm 139 in haiku poetic form.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

   if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

Psalm 139:9&10                              

Phoenix flies at dawn 

Can one rise with daybreak sun, 

Fly on morning wings?

Traveler with the dawn 

Settling on far flung coastline 

Here too, God’s hand guides.

Provides grace to land 

Securely in far flung place

Steady, guiding hand.

 
Quote to Ponder . . .

Where shall I go, beyond the bounds of heaven and earth, that God may come to me, since He has said: “Heaven and earth do I fill.”

― Augustine of Hippo

The Confessions of St. Augustine
