I am a dandelion
under the weight
of an elephant.
The uneasy waters churned
beneath the waterfall.
The kindergartner
on his first day of school.
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,
but He remembers me.

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. |
