Imago Dei
(a found poem after Gerard Manley Hopkins)
‘I Am Present…is my name forever…’
–Exodus 3:14–15, Dr. Michael
LeFebvre's translation*
diverse fierce, Love’s Spark
will flame, forge road—warm breast and
with ah! bright wings
*Translation in light of Hebrew "to be" meaning to be active-- implying God's being present with and for His people; see also Arabic equivalent: “love, affection, passion, desire.”
**From prompt: Freewrite as inspired by Gerard Manly Hopkins introduced by Laura Rutland, and “God's Grandeur “ by Gerard Manley Hopkins. From Lisa Freedman’s BreatheReadWrite, November 11, 2023.
