Embrace of God, poem by Peter Menkin

The heart yearns,
wishes for warmth, finds opening
to the Lord. A deeper thing
like the blood that courses through the body

this divine love sustains life.
More.
In the secret of the self, within the psyche,
we yearn for knowledge with self recognition
of existence, Christ does feed us.
More.

The beyond
calls; mankind discovers something uniquely

greater than the mysteries that Intrigue senses and thoughts.
Easter reveals to us this greater than,
this renewal of the good, exploding with eternal might

there is love greater everlastinggift unforgettable recognized with prayer.
More.
With a knowledge of expanded eternity beyond
the measure of imagination--the gasp of surrender.
Promise that tells us God
Embraces the spirit of mankind.
