What do I do
When God is gone?
A question I don’t have to ask
Because it doesn’t happen
God doesn’t go away
I do
I go away when I want
To think of someone else
Of something that I want
That I shouldn’t have
When I need
Or presume to need
Enough to bump out God
From my awareness,
Which qualifies the need
As something else
x
This is straightforward:
I choose to have God in my life
Closer to me, anyway
Since God is there
Creating
Maintaining
Weeping or laughing at
What we do
Preparing for Parousia
Yet
Cherishing each moment
The now we have
We linear beings
Meaning for us
It’s a saving moment
To a saving moment
x
God is close
God is inherent
In electrons
And cellular nuclei
God will become more obvious
As we wish
As we choose
As we ask it so
(the asking’s prayer)
The devil has many ways
To snare us away
It is agenda
Of the kind that pushes will
And understanding
Inside a frame that illustrate
An attitude
Against people and the
Environment
The Earth we stand or glide
Or rest upon
All of which, the devil says,
Is unimportant
When favoring
Profit
Unhuman strategies
(inhumane)
That only matter as
Winning so that the rest
Are losers
x
Who is lost?
The burden’s hard
The burden’s easy
It’s paradox
Of faith
Of belief in God who’s only known
Through evidence unseen
Who wins a case through this?
x
Such contradictions
Such opposites
The world we love must be eschewed
If we would live, there is first
The inevitability of dying
Sheesh
No thank you
Or thank you
Our will to embrace
To choose
To live in love
With the good in everything
With faith
And hard belief that has gentle edges
In what we show each other
(as in manifest)
In what we sense
And how we deal
With everyone
With everything
By which and in which
A spirit accompanies
For good
For upbuilding
For faith
And, yes, for love
x
We live in hope
That God is there
That God is there when we return
Or when we turn around
In attitude
Repentance
Sorry and a new embrace
Of faith
Gove love this Earth
And the extraordinary creatures
That you’ve made
That is each of us
Not that we are perfect
Or perfectly anything
But in everyone
And everything
The three remain close by
The three remain close by
