THE OTHER GOD It is a rare noise I hear. Those sounds that seem to say: I could be a pond; or Have been a reflection. Knees that are forever bent Into a prayer of all things. I am in each thing. The aspect shown, The one that is most needed. The slope of spring untended, While walking toward an answer; always visiting myself in stranger’s clothes. I don’t think anyone imagines quite enough these days To meet Their other God.

To think we are created in God’s image. My hope is that I can reflect well on Him.

Thank you so much Caren. I am new to Soup and am just getting my bearings. Have read several of your entries and am astonished at how visually direct they are. Sometimes I chew my food way too much. My nickname is Mikey.
