! ! ! God Poem by Bob Blackwell

What is God, who is God you ask me?
I believe life’s eternal consciousness is God,
he is the sun, the wind, the rain, the earth.
The elements that help bring all life to be,
the energy that pulses through everything,
makes us see, walk, talk and sense all life.
He is our world and other worlds combined.

He feeds us with its power; he is the heart
that beats, the mind that wonders why, and
everything we can see, or hear, taste, touch.
He is planets moving around sun, the moon
our earth, the flower that blooms, the trees,
the gentle breeze, the clouds, the sunlight
that colours, paints our world so we can see.

He is the comet that swoops through universe,
the gravity that causes it to return, heaven,
the cosmos, the star dust that sparkles, floats
in the milky way, to form new worlds out of
old, and the stars collapse to form black holes
to swallow all that passes, to give a short cut,
and a bypass to the other side of our universe.

He is life’s energy that expands to make,
more planets, new worlds to explore, give
new beauty in our lives, for it is his energy
made of a consciousness that has no limits,
here since the beginning of time, then a void,
of nothing, an emptiness, a silence that held
life’s dream, a drama of all of future lives. He

expands to explode and create the start of time.
All an illusion, a lovely mystery of how life began,
after the first word was written and our history
began to unfold, slowly, very slowly, the story
expands, more life is born, natures store opens.
He is all this, the story, the drama play, you, me,
all we see, all connected to make up one big soul.
