God is today.
He is not yesterday.
He is not tomorrow.
God is the dawn, awakening the earth to life;
the first morning ever,
shining with infinite innocence; a revelation
older than all beginning, younger than youth.
God is the noon, blinding the eye of the mind
with the blaze of truth.
God is the sunset, casting over creation
a color of glory
as He withdraws into the mysteries of night.
God is today.
He is not yesterday.
He is tomorrow.
He never is night.
(a poem by the last Jessica Powers from Track of the Mystic, p.129)
