I saw God but now what?

It is true
I have seen God
But not as a man,
Nor woman,
Not as some all powerful being hidden in clouds,
Nor in sacred texts embodied in the image of "religion".
No.
I have seen God and it is true.

Every breath that dances among winds graceful chest 
Every drop of water that leaks from the eyes of broken man and seeps upon the window sills of hopeful minds.
From the evergreen forest to the mountains of our lands bountiful majesty 
My world seems to cascade into a god that is not large, encompassing, nor overbearing 
Rather, a godly energy of antagonizing parallels 
Shifting my view from one perspective to the next as I glide through an existence planned perfectly to intertwine tantalizing minds in everlasting gratitude.
 
What a feeble attempt we have made at a mistaken physical reliance existing outside of you and I when it is within that is the key 
To me, 
God is not man nor woman 
God is not he nor she, not a thing, not something to be and thus this is what I see....

A God is a "God to be"
A perpetuating thought meant to be continuously out of reach when the truth is God itself, in reality, is existing within and in-between you and me 
Exerting its wisdom in universal unity 
Finding its binds in all forms enriched in consciousness from blue to green 
Sky to sea, and all that exists in the outer planes far past what we are meant to see

So I say adieu to you, and all who live in this godly body of mind and soul melded in one. 
And when asked "What now?" all there is to say is,
I am you and you are me as God exists within and in-between.
