God is a lover,
or he would not kiss the earth twice daily.
Would not care about revealing himself
in colours.
But he does, like a girl
checking her face in the hall mirror
before dazzling with her smile.
God cares like that,
dressing up and putting on scent,
to then disrobe,
baring one soft shoulder at a time.
And God has no agenda
other than to love us,
as though we were wide ocean
drawn by gravity to the moon.
As though, in the gap
between the mirrored surface of ourselves,
and God’s attentive countenance-
her gentle kiss-
were light,
in all the colours
with which it reaches our eyes.

Your description of God is heartwarming and true…I have felt it for a long time and you do too…your words are beyond describing for true vision of what is all around us all the time. You see to the deep heart of every created thing, people included but they/we are only a part…

Oh thank you for this affirmation my friend. I like to think, I include people in my emcompassment of all the wonders that God has made. So deep thanks for affirming that xx
