God [poem] lyrics

It's strange that God doesn't mind expressing

Himself/Herself in all the religions of the world,

while people still cling to the notion that their

way is the only right way.

Whatever you try to say about God,

someone will take offense, even if

you say everyone's love of God

is right for them.

For me the form God takes is not

the most important thing. What's most

important is the essence. My songs and

dances are outlines for Him to come in

and fill. I hold out the form she

puts in the sweetness.

I've looked up at the night sky and

beheld the stars so intimately close,

it was as if my grandmother had

made them for me. "How rich,

how sumptuous", I thought.

In that moment I saw God in His

creation. I could as easily have seen

Her in the beauty of a rainbow, the

grace of a deer bounding through

a meadow, the truth of a father's kiss.

But for me the sweetest contact with

God has no form. I close my eyes,

look within, and enter a deep

soft silence.

The infinity of God's creation

embraces me. We are one!
