What Is God

What is God? Is it the Power? Or is it a man? Could it be an Alien? I like to think it’s a person But I’m probably mistaken All the knowledge in the mind Just makes it harder to define I’d like to dream and go to heaven Just to ask to see the boss there I would ask him why the world is so troubled He would have to admit it is a muddle I wouldn’t trouble him with little things like the weather Although I would ask why people have to die in earthquakes and floods I’m sure he would understand the needs of a simple man To want something to believe in besides religion Religion doesn’t help they are all the same Professing to be better than the rest is a silly game I think I’ll get into yoga it might help me pass over to Nirvana Then I would know all the secrets of the ages just like the sages And I could share it with everyone and say it was from above But people would probably laugh at me for telling them to love So I will just tell you my friend I’m sure you’ll understand Simply love, that’s all And now I’ll go to bed I think it’s for the best and I do need the rest. Good night.

Hello Colin, WOW.. Your poem blew me away, never have I considered God, to be anything more than Holy Power. I don't study much religion. However, I do choose to believe.. Close your eyes, and feel.. :) Love this, Love LOVE LOVEEE.. Good night...Linda

I hope you slept well. I practice yoga and it certainly helps me to see things more clearly, though I'm not sure I've discovered any secrets, maybe only that I'm not as bendy as I used to be! Have a wonderful day.
