Been a While

It’s been a while since I cried
And let those tears roll down
Roll down naturally
Roll down effortlessly
Because tears just flow that way

It’s been a while since I swam
And let the waters surround me
Hold me afloat naturally
Hold me afloat effortlessly
Because my body floats that way

It’s been a while since I sang
And let my voice pick the tunes within
Sing out naturally
Sing out effortlessly
Because songs get sung that way

It’s been a while since I wrote a poem
And let words cascade in verse
Write them naturally
Write them effortlessly
Because words come to me that way

Divine Carriers

God came to me as a person
I smirked and rebuked her
“Oh you cannot be mortal
You are a cheat and imposter”

God came to me as an angel
I blinked my eyes in disbelief
“I must be imagining things
Let me close my eyes for relief”

God came to me as an animal
My heart opened up in love
“You overpower my rational brain
So I will shut you out now”

God came to me as Me
Making me melt in divine bliss
“But I have so much wrong with me
Let me create something amiss”

Then God came to me as Nature
Swishing the leaves on the trees
Drawing patterns in the clouds
And creating art with the breeze

Dropping the subtlest of clues
To bypass my mind’s barriers
And gently surrounding me
With infinite divine carriers
