Poem: god is not a tyrant

I am a flower smiling at the sun

growing patiently higher

rising to meet god

who lives in the trees and breeze

laughing through the waters shining.

god resides in every color

god is an artist.

god lives in every heart that believes

love is stronger than hatred.

god is not a he or she

god is within us cell by cell

and that’s not blasphemy.

Hate is blasphemous.

Making a dungeon of this paradise world

is blasphemous.

I tell it like I see it

and I was trained to see

through the mind’s eye to eternity

where god lives is beauty.

What I’m saying is nothing to be afraid of

I’m just writing about true love.
