Rama Balasubramanian Poet Tanka

God Is Omnipresent

We go to place
of worship to see God in 
idols of stones, metals,
forgetting omnipresent
God permeates universe

God is everywhere.
See him in all, treat all as 
you would treat the lord.
All scriptures state God resides
in the heart of all life forms

Joanna Daniel August 30, 2021 at 9:49 PM You're right, God does not reside in idol stones, congratulations, Rama:)

Sam Kauffman August 30, 2021 at 11:06 AM Beautifully said Rama. Congratulations on your win. I also loved Mud. I agree we have to stop paving over our primodial ooze and give all life a chance to thrive. High fives and kudos for your win with Mud!

Regina Mcintosh August 18, 2021 at 4:17 AM I LOVE this! Amazing words. God bless you always, Love, Gina

Christuraj Alex August 17, 2021 at 7:19 PM Beautiful Tanka. Beautifully brought out the Omnipresence of God. Your form is very clear and strict. I tend to go out of rhythm often. Congratulations on your win!

Sotto Poet August 11, 2021 at 7:08 PM You're correct, Rama; God is so powerful can never be in a statute or a sculpture. Great poem, My best wishes with the contest

Tom Cunningham August 11, 2021 at 10:18 AM So true Rama, churches are a tranquil place to pray but any quiet place will suffice as you say he's everywhere. Hope your week is going well. Tom

Poet Tellaferro August 11, 2021 at 9:08 AM NICE! Love the truth you deliver, first thought this was going to be a standard "Christian" poem, but it rang with me. God is not a building but is the universe and the voice next to you heart. Will be checking out more of your work!
