A Sonnet of Wonderment/Confoundment
Jer.32:17‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earthby Your great power and outstretched arm.There is nothing too hard for You.
Time cannot shift the Hand that tunes the tideThat manifests God’s ancient covenantThat ebbs and flows across the countrysideTo author amaranthine wonderment
Where we could shout until no voice is leftThe height and breadth of beauty to descryOnly to concede mortal is bereftOf words to adequately gratify
…the thirst that bursts into a hymn of praiseToo grand for script of syllable and rhymeTo God, who never ceases to amazeUnphased, He proves the changeless ways of Time
And rouses from Confoundment's inept mold Agape stutters of 'Ah, Lord God, behold.'

Gen.8:22“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us--none can compare to You--if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
