The height and depth and length and breadth of God - <br />that's what is promised to contemplatives: <br />and God, the sphere whose centre's everywhere <br />and whose circumference is nowhere found: <br /> <br />geometry without coordinates <br />and integral beyond all integers, <br />description of the indescribable - <br />can this reveal the measure of godliness? <br /> <br />God's height: the soul, which knows but upward flight; <br />God's depth: the depthless deep of human heart; <br />God's breadth: the mind with limits beyond sight; <br />God's length: how long He'll wait, while we're apart; <br /> <br />this does but limn the sphere which yet awaits <br />the soul and heart and mind which contemplates.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0146-contemplation-s-metaphysical/
