Molten God

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for this planet
made of layers,
from fiery liquid center
to outer crust,
with animals and humans
like a cherry on top.

Blessed are You
for Your presence in all the layers,
from burning core
to ants harvesting crumbs
from a picnic at the surface.

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe, for You:
my faithful, fiery center,
unaffected by crusty circumstances.
You are my depths,
each layer inseparable from the next.
You are molten love
in even the most frigid times.
I am grounded in You,
deep beyond my ability to pollute.
No matter how far I run,
I am the same distance from the core.
You are faithful center.
