The uneasy waters churned

The kindergartner

I am the fifty year old
mother looking upon
the grand canyon for the first time.

The dry oak pieces
in the campfire.

The barnacles glued
to the humpback whale.

I am dust,

why do we need a god? does this god, this he (which would be lonely) need us? I'm not so sure. I'm glad for you that you have faith. I'm happy to go on without faith. I don't need it.

I think poeticjustice missed the meaning of your poem. Cause the god I see in your poem, is not an all-knowing ominous person in the sky, but rather he is a metaphor for the bond all humans share with each other, nature, and the planet.
I normally don't like these warm and fuzzy poems, this one was not bad. Keep it up, I'd like to read more, perhaps next time something with some teeth.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
