Kenneth R. Merrill Poet Rhyme

God and I Have Never Met

God and I have never met,
At least as I recall—
But I’ve seen the autumn turn to flame,
And a prancing flurry fall.

O the glowing stars of heaven,
For I know no better word—
But is not a whale a miracle,
Or as well a baby bird?

Once I saw a mirror lake;
Or maybe it was two?
Then again, there was a waking rose
With a lace of morning dew.

God and I have never met,
At least as I recall—
But if there is a heaven,
May forever it enthrall.

Sandra Adams August 18, 2019 at 10:56 AM the beauty of all things, nature as well as all life, the circle of birth, miracles of his hand daily...we may have never met him but he's all around us! Such a beautiful poem, love it :) Kenneth R. Merrill September 8, 2019 at 2:23 PM Thank you Sandra! My poetic way of saying there is a God, without saying there is a God. And bless you for your kindness, Ken :-)

Winged Warrior July 21, 2019 at 10:36 PM Superbly executed my friend...we all have met the face of God...for His reflection is in all things...^WW^ :o) Kenneth R. Merrill July 21, 2019 at 11:16 PM Even in a drop of rain, or a blade of grass, too easily overlooked. Are they not miracles—reflections of God? I love your comment, and thank you...Ken :o)

Sand Blown July 21, 2019 at 10:24 PM write something...study.....a wiseman once said 'turn your toys into scientific instruements and research reality' Kenneth R. Merrill July 21, 2019 at 11:10 PM “toys into scientific instruments and research reality.” The Muse leads me one way; reality is the other—but I do study! Thank you, Sand, I appreciate the comment!!!!

Gershon Wolf July 21, 2019 at 6:47 PM Wonderful, Kenneth! Traces of Emily D. in this one, but frankly yours puts hers to rout. Bravo. A FAVE for me. Best wishes, Gershon Kenneth R. Merrill July 21, 2019 at 9:59 PM What a nice and encouraging comment! Thank you, Gershon, and to compare me so favorably to my however distant cousin, Emily? Well that is high praise, indeed—and again, thank you :)
