Creator of the Cosmos
Nameless One
Breath of the Universe
Somehow the Sun shines
The Rain comes
And the Garden grows
And I find gratitude
in the Core of my Being
Strength on my Journey
Companion in my Struggles
Present in Wind
In the Birds
In my Cats
In every Molecule of Nature
Not Above or Below
but Around
In and Through.
I don't ask that my Pain be removed
I don't ask that my Loss be returned
I don't ask for that which I haven't worked for
I don't ask
I only Breathe and Love and find You.

Poet's Note: Written April 1, 2022
Today of all days I write this. I wonder if I was the fool for understanding less than this. For understanding a God as only a dude. For embracing a God as a vending machine. For thinking that as a human being, I am superior to the other organic lifeforms that contain all the presence of the Creator.
My choice of a bull thistle for this picture is one of an expression of unwanted torturous beauty.
