(God’s Sonnet by Timothy J. Verret; “it’s how I cope to hope in not reading between the lines when it comes to God’s Word….and you”)

You see the 12 steps up there on the wall.

You read between the lines. Gotta be more?

You overcomplicate it, overhaul.

“Keep it simple” is the slogan you snore.

He said to me, “Nothing more I can say.”

I said to him, “Everything more I need.”

I craved the subtext: What’s beneath that “nay?”

He declined. So did I like a nosebleed.

“What IS….there’s nothing new under the sun.”

Ecclesiastes One:9 – No between

the lines of God’s Word; there is just The Son,

who took 12-plus steps for God’s Love foreseen.

God promises to show all of us Signs.

Look and feel around, not between the lines.
