We are all writing God's poem

What a dreary picture.
Every one of us spending our numbered days
scrawling lines on the same chalkboard, like a punishment from a cartoon,
for a poem that won’t have even one of our names on it.

No. We are all writing in God’s poem.
There is no need to chain us to a rock
when the rock is Earth and we call it home.
It is a poem we write for those who share it with us.

Yes, still a poem that we write.
And isn’t that more divine, to be both the act and the actor.
