I like biblical poems.To my ear, phrases like "whisper of doubt" and "window of light" tend a bit to cliche and disallow a chance to set this piece off.

I'm not sure cryptocrystalline adds anything, but it sounds neat. I'd consider the God who laughs instead of He.

This is a fairly straightforward telling which could be, I think, made better by some new insight, some poetic tension.
