My Creator of All Things

 

After writing a full novel manuscript I find myself only pulling smaller word threads for a while; resting some muscle but keeping it taut with sprints through poetry and essay. It’s another poetry day and I’m feeling like offering up this one to the cyber pyre of anonymous eyes.

Creator of All Things

 

My Creator of All Things

Is not the playground bully created by religion

Not the God with the small ā€œgā€ who has a vocabulary

With words like

Hate

Vengeance

Disappointment

Exclusive

Ultimatum

And judgment

~

My Creator of All Things

Needs no words.

To name a thing is to capture it

And stop its evolution towards something more

~

My Creator of All Things

Set a dance in motion a trillion, trillion, trillion years ago

A trillion, trillion, trillion years from now

One second ago

Now

~

Time is a measuring stick designed for tiny human brains

To help us organize events into simple patterns we can understand

~

My Creator of All Things

Swirled the dust of everything into a golden spiral

And I see the signature everywhere

From the perfect turn of my DNA

To the galaxies spinning in dizzying proportions light years across the vastness beyond

~

My Creator of All Things

Swirled the dust of everything

And the dance began, begins, will begin

Throughout the Multiverse

Flung far

Growing

Changing

Evolving-

triggered by possibility

Every possibility

Every choice

Conscious or unconscious

Amongst the sentient and insentient

Everywhere

~

My Creator of All Things

Is the observer

Watching as each speck of dust finds its way around the spiral

And back again to be part of itself

Though it never left

~

My Creator of All Things

Does not require membership

Tradition

Worship

Teams

Armies

Compliance

Sacrifice

Or

Offerings

~

My Creator of All Things

Touches my heart

When I sit in a field of flowers

Looking closely at the perfect design of a

Clover blossom while the bee

moves without hesitation

Knowing its purpose and its path

~

My Creator of All Things rocks me gently

When I feel the earth moving in its orbit

~

I grow

Change

Evolve

And discover the possibilities

Of every choice I make

Consciously or unconsciously

As I dance around the spiral

On my way back to where I began

~

My Creator of All Things is not the school yard bully created by religion

~

My Creator of All Things is the Alpha, the Omega

and everything in between.

~

And I am a microscopic, macroscopic

Vital and relevant part of All Things
