there is god in the glitter that lays atop the pond
golden and radiant in the late hours of the afternoon
it feels like it's shining just for me, for these ripples harbor
little rainbows, piercing the breeze as i walk with you
there is god in the christmas lights strung up around town
especially when you have astigmatism, driving late at night
and they turn into stars, supernovas against the navy-black curtain of sky
your hands cold but your chest is warm, so warm
there is god in each and every vein, the intricate design
of the human body, perfected over generations
there is god in the firing of a neuron, in the conjuring of consciousness
from the same stuff that everything ever is made of
there is god in the fact that this world is inhabited by so many people
and i get to know you, i get to laugh with you and cry for you
and kiss and hug and touch and love you, you brilliant organism
you've loved me through so many iterations of myself
there is god in harmonic sound waves, frequencies
that agree with each other, and when the beat comes in
it feels so natural to move this body, this heavenly body,
it keeps revolving, and before you know it another year has gone by
there is god in the flowers that manage to claw their way back
from deep under the earth, dormant through frost and snow
the lillies of the valley with pure white flowers like church bells, ringing
for the rebirth of it all – is three months so different than three days
in the span of almost four billion years?
