Gods Surprise
As this sphere spins within my hands,
I can see and feel billions of people.
They laugh and work and pray;
Within and outside my steeples.
..I've handcrafted them all,
..Each and every one with love.
..And for those that are troubled,
..I comfort with cloud-based gloves.
....Now I see two unfamiliar souls,
....That straddle this globe.
....They stand in the sun,
....And communicate in ways they know.
......They will never touch,
......Or know each other's scent,
......But both wish to seek...
......What true love is meant.
....They challenge each other,
....With language and riddles.
....And try to make sense,
....Even where knowledge is little.
..So I spin the Earth,
..To close out the lights.
..But these two souls
..Stay up at night!
And then as day breaks,
Comes to my surprise to see...
That at the same time,
They both stare up at me.
