Saiom Shriver Poems

Until finally becoming a vegetarian
I thought of plants as objects..
but as the layer of animal fat
over perceptions
...

In the dish
of tuna fish..
are dolphins who their deaths met
suffocating in trawler nets.
...

If we believe God
is omnipresent
it follows
that God is present
...

In all ants
in all plants
is now seen
God's dance.
...

Beyond the dominion
of Satan's minions
Beyond the realm
of mental opinions
...

Not for long do garish street lights
block the shy stars of night
nor fire sirens shroud for long
the mornbird's chorus song
...

As the pure bright mirror
transmits the morning
sun,
we need not understand God
...
