The whole planet
sings a song of joy
a prayer and a hymn
to creation
through every being, everything that is alive
in any form
even the swarm of fish
caught and kept in the zoo
sings
right now in front of me
like the child
watching and screaming in excitement
and my tears
as I watch the rays of sun
playing and painting waves
on the sandy floor of the basin
sing a song of joy
in every movement
each spiral
wave
direction
in every pulsation
and may it be invisible
like the great anacondas silent heartbeat
lies a song of joy
I want to know this song
and trust
my heart knows
my melody
in the grand concert of existence
how can anyone who really listens
who really sees
not know God.
(God? Formless, nameless, not tied to any concept or belief, not separate from us and yet much more than the sum of us, manifesting and present in all forms, matter, energy, constant change and eternity, silence in the core of existence and at the same time that which listens. That which I don't know and yet I know more intimately than myself.)
