Beautiful artwork and beautiful poem. The image of the divine hand grasping our own is powerful. Your words are a compelling invitation to enter the life of abiding in the vine: "what you seek is humble trust" and "rest in your renown" especially moved me. Yes, Lord, let it be so.

Easch stanza of your piece is beautifully chiastic. Wonderful choice to set that off with the indentation.
