God Is

God is the silence
and god is the noise

god is the child and the
children's toys

god is your smile
god is the sun

god is the children, how they run
how we touch, feel our skin

hear the music, hear the birds
where is the wind

but for god?
God is the sea and god is the whales

the jelly fish and the snail
the ship with the sails

the girl with a bouncing pony tail
horses and ducks, shit and muck

god is the atom
and god is the bomb

god writes the music
god sings the song

the cutlery clatters
and the dishes are swished

god is the washing up
and the loving cup

god is a fleeting romance
the the glory in all our eyes

god is the sense o f”i” and god is that “me” feeling joy
god is a kiss and burning the hearts

god is the rainbow
the seasons turning, red leaves on autumn trees

and in cream, god is the butter and the churning
god is prison and god is liberation

dark black and white piano keys
stamping out a movement

god is loss and across the air
dancing tango, we go in god

god is the radio
the meat feast and the fist

fucking and clutching
letting go, swearing blind

god is promises
god is lies

god is adolescent hots
god is breasts and butts and cocks

god is cigar smoke sweet as cherries
news papers and chips and ships

catching the ferry
god is the crossing and god is the waves

mounting up to a crest
falling back into the trough

again, god is repetition
though god is what is stale

god is what is fresh and what is found
god is our daily bread

god is what you think is right
and what you think is wrong

god is the torture
god is the blame

god is forgiveness
remembering and forgetting

god is running downhills in flip flops
falling dropping rolling lolling

god is glittering
god is shining, green and sparkling

god is I staying alone
god is the crowded home

god is the angels wings
god is so many things !


and god is the clouds
that linger for a while

god is your rest
and god is time.

god is the vine
god is  wine

god is blue
suede shoes, ballet or ruby slippers

god is east
god is west and water falling

god is space and moons and stars shooting
god is gold and the reckoning

god is zero
god is less than zero

god is peace and god is innocence
god is wisdom, roses, dew bejeweled spiders webs

god is yellow flowers
gratitude and greed

god is us rain and need
god is despair bleak depression the downward stair.

god is the summer nights
low hum punctuated with trumpet sounds

god is snow's quiet murmur
or crunch crunch crunch

god is our frozen toes
our icy hair our red noses

god is rising smoke an eagle
a cracking joke

god is laughter
and god is laughing

god is seas of courage
god is oceans of  pain

god is the light and the shadow
what will be spoken  


god is the window
the doors and the heavens

god is I am as god granted
all this to see and to wonder

god is it and all for love
so that we can be that that is

god is number 11 number 9 and number 7
god is all that is and more

god is the virgin
god is the whore

god is light and god is love
god is the push and god is the shove

god is how
god is now

who is this and who is me ?
who is this that who can see ?

fresh and new god is us
god is me and god is you

god is silvery fish in bouncing moon light waters
god is sons and god is daughters

god is a slippery tune
god is rivers where tadpoles swim

god is babies
that cry and giggle

god is horses breath and worms that wiggle
god is secret dark damp earth

sweetly rotting leaves
god is gigantic ancient wise old trees

god is the copper beach in all her glory
god is the never ending impossible story
