Question Of God

I question God;

Not the existence of,

But the singularity of his being.

Might We not be God I ask,

Creators of this world, this reality;

All of us, the collective,

Our spirits, our hearts, our souls

Forming order out of this presumed chaos,

Though perhaps it is not chaos at all,

Rather a mysterious perfection.

It diminishes not our desire for God

Nor should it be thrown into oblivions pit.

Instead it should be sought after with fervor.

Where though, lies the question.

Religion begs us to look towards the heavens,

Drawing truth from books transcribing God through man,

Placing faith in idols and symbols,

Traveling down another’s path,

Still answers are as void as those of the godless.

Perhaps our quest has been misguided,

Perhaps we have been intimate with God all along

But did not recognize him when spoken too.

Blinded by our perceptions of the outside reality,

Ignorant to our inside spirituality for fear of damnation,

We look for what we already may already have…

I ask, couldn’t we be God?

    I have pondered the god questions. I am not religious, I believe in something but not certain what. Lets just say I have faith in something…..;)

      As do I, lately I have been looking at eastern spirituality and it makes a great deal of sense to me. I find that there is logic to what is taught not just blind faith. :)

    Great poem, and a great topic worth exploring. I don’t know how much weight my answer holds, but I answer your question by saying: Yes!

      We all have to come up with our own answers I would think as this is a topic that touches people in different ways. I’m not sure that my answer carries much weight either, but it is all that I have. Thanks Cody. :)

    This is not just wonderful writing, there is but much wisdom to ponder over in this you have written!

      Than you very much, that is very nice of you to say. God is something that I, like most people spend a lifetime trying to come to terms with, if for no other reason than to make peace with our own mortality.
