Approximating Godhood

                                                                  

And when my life is over,

Will it be said of me

That I lived with spirit, courage, fervor,

Pushed existence to the edge,

Eluded every rule,

Save those that arose, long ago,

From YHWH's strictest ukases,

That I made the most of the least,

Did my best to mitigate the worst,

Despite my limited guesses

As to God's dimensionless intentions?

All I can say, with a wide sigh,

Is that I hope, dream so,

Since I've been given just one try

To prove, beyond death's shadow,

That, being all too fallibly human,

I'm yet capable of sacredness —

Creating worlds from breezes,

Making miracles materialize

Out of imagination's abstractions,

Devising divine designs

For mankind to approximate godhood.
