Problem with God

 You seem to be an illusion,

 as well as reality.

 

You drive beings from far and near;

you put together

while you disintegrate.

You take away mighty giants into the desert

and there you leave them to fall.

Unbelievable to see a giant falling.

 

How unbelievable it is to hear people say,

'The Giant has fallen!'

You are there to trick all

into propagation of life.

Yes, that's the essence.

If everyone realized that you are just an illusion,

A Trick,

nobody would submit to your demands.

 

Everyone would be in her little cocoon

enjoying the warmth

Missing out a broader view.

You are a paradox.

You are joy as well as sadness,

for how can truth be one sided?

 

I may be happy as well as sad.

When I am happy,

I don't want to give up.

When I am sad I have the hope.

I keep moving toward the idea

and the unknown;

my hope is only

strong when I have the faith.

 

With faith I surrender to all.

You are what I don't know about.

I stand in awe and wonder at

how powerless and helpless I am

to reverse or swallow back

what I have given birth to,

because sometimes I want to wonder away

and never return.

I began my journey in you,

hence it will end in you.

You are love!

You are God!

God your are love!!!
