nothing + time + chance

On the day
scientific man creates life
from non-matter + time + chance
we may just hear God
clapping and laughing.

Religion is Easy

like learning a game of cards.

Relating to the One who paints

from the palette of true life?

Well that’s as complex

as a marriage!

So

here goes.

“Hi God…”

Remembering

image by Leah Klar

 

We flew together 

for just a while 

Maybe?  Or perhaps a wandering lifetime 

Then we parted 

and she plucked me a memory 

in her perfect style 

a perfect piece with softest kiss 

  

This reminder sings in her colour 

and sends my senses back 

to a snuggling perfume 

that time we watched the sun fall 

and forgot all about flying home for the night 

   

It must have slipped! 

I had it tucked right here 

but the breezes crossed and bent my flight 

somewhere in those mountains 

   

A while or maybe a lifetime I cried 

On a moonlit beach 

Then burst out loud 

laughing at my silliness in the lapping tides 

The other beaks all turn away 

they say I’m not allowed 

to roll around on a lifetime of sand 

no longer worrying  

‘Where did it softly land?’

he spent twenty minutes

in the bath

pouring water

from one cup to the other

again and again

I can almost hear

God clapping and laughing

again and again
