God

While I don't usually publish my compositions, I can't resist but sharing this. The most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen was the inspiration for this short poem. While I most assuredly continue to be an atheist (and an outspoken one), the reference to god is the unity one feels with nature. Not god as a benefactor, but as a concept that embodies the deep sense of connection one feels with mother earth. It is this connection that I like to think of as spirituality.

Here. At the junction;

Of sky, water and earth

The sun vows rebirth. 

Here; a symphony

Of waves crashing ashore

Lets my soul explore. 

Here is a marriage;

Of rich color and sound

Where reds and golds abound.

Here; that blessed union

Even the skies applaud

Of me and my god.
