God's Garden

If there is a god and how is it possible, there is not,
	then he would be right here
	sitting next to me on this bench.
He would already know and see
	the peace and tranquility
	lying in the midst of the yard’s activity
	as it is set aside from the world around.
These wooden fences
	high and stiff
	close in this safe escape
	from the turmoiled anxiety beyond the gate.
He would rest momentarily
	recalling to me the story of the first garden
	with all its possibilities,
	now lost.
The trees would bow in the wind
	sweeping a grand display of thank yous
	in gratitude to the wonders
	of his magnificent design.
The waters would flow clear and untainted
	singing praise to its Creator
	who gave life to all around
	the birds, the fish, creatures and humankind.
Then, when he was satisfied and refreshed
	with the beauty, hope and love that thrives
	He’d move on
	to other tasks.
