A Symphony of Eternal Gratitude (poem/gedicht)



What compels the wave to break upon the shore?
By whose bidding speeds the sun across the sky?
Who instigates the autumn leaves to gather on the forest floor
And transforms a lowly worm into a butterfly?

His works we see, but not the Hands that wrought them,
Their whereabouts are shrouded in a mystic hush,
Yet as the fragrant rose is upheld by its thorny stem,
So God by man: His chisel and His brush.

The same Hand that thrust the stars into the Heavens
Built China’s wall and carved a David out of lifeless stone;
He who was inspiration inside Shakespeare’s pen
Moved Rembrandt’s hand and sat on Akbar’s throne.

Yet all the world’s greatness is His passing show,
His Fancy’s Festival, a mere prelude,
While He awaits the sacred hour when the world will grow
Into a symphony of eternal gratitude.

Van atheïst naar gelovige
Ik vind mijn Meester (of mijn Meester vindt mij)
Twee voorspellende dromen
Een mysterieuze boodschap
Mijn ideale ochtend
Ik krijg mijn spirituele naam
A Proud Son of the Thunder (poem/gedicht)
