Is there a book without an author?
I know of a wordless book.
And speech without sound.
There are anonymous books
With unknown authors.
There are compiled books
with many authors.
What about me?
Am I a book?
Perhaps a contributor among many
With the influence of people and time,
Environments and events,
Culture and Christ.
With chapters beginning and ending
Without a prepared outline.
With an introduction I don't remember.
With a conclusion I can't envision.
With characters not of my choosing.
With a plot I didn't write.
With someone else numbering the pages
Just as my days and numbered
By One Greater than me.
Who is writing the words?
What is my title?
Who is my audience?
Who are my readers?
How can I know?
You say there is a clue?
An Author and Finisher of my Faith,
Who writes not in ink but in the Spirit,
Not on tablets of stone
But on the human heart,
To be read of all men.
It is too wonderful to comprehend!
