Haiku of mystery
Moses, God converse.
Mo seeks details, wants to know
what God is planning
Moses presses God:
If I have found favour, then
show me your ways, God.
These people are yours,
care for them. I am with you,
I will give you rest.
Will
you go with us?
If your presence will not go
don’t send us from here.
With you as our God
we will be special, unique
among the nations.
I do as you ask,
I look on you with favour,
I know you by name.
Moses asks, Show me
your glory. The Lord agrees.
I shall pass by you.
Seeing my glory
you will proclaim the Lord’s name.
I will be gracious.
I will show myself
but you cannot see my face,
not if you would live.
Hide in this cleft rock
while my glory passes by,
you shall see my back.
The back view of God
Yes, I think that I’d take that,
if it was offered.
