cherished

[nibbed]

It's best not
to painfully watch.

I'm not as poor
as the bits of hamburger
thrown in a piranha tank;

you see, I know
my end will really be
my beginning,

unlike the souls of men
who suffer intensely
never having been
cherished in this world
as they should have been.

They almost
cannot comprehend the One
who holds back the flooding tides,

He who spins the Earth
and nurses the galaxies
in His palm

might just be
truly in love with them.
