I Think I Have Found God. Poem by RIC BASTASA

abdul

you flatter me
saying i can be a good
thing
to be copied by you

sometimes i like to believe
this matter
and so i go back to the mirror
and look at my own eyes

wanting to find what is
is there to see and what is it
that perhaps i have not seen
and yet seen by you

a few minutes i laugh
i have memorized this face like
the poem of a child

know what i mean,
living life, taking it for granted
not expecting to find anything
in the garden

this morning i take my walk
i think no thoughts
i feel the wind and see the leaves
falling

and i think, hope you do not
oppose my humble conclusion,
i think i have
found God.
