The Light



I believe in God but
When we were created then
We returned the favor
Turning God into a him
Projecting what we thought
God may be but maybe not

A him perceived as grim
Believed to be quite human
With a guilty flavor
And having a taste for blood
I never understood

I think we got God all wrong
With all this talk of sin
Fear of divine disfavor
With hopes for heaven slim
Give your money to the church
Or be left in the lurch

Nor can I see God slaying
Or being vengeful in
The way some might be praying
About people like me
Seeing God as being free

Not limited at all
By us being human when
We keep thinking too small
Having been there all along
The light that is staying
The night as the shadows fall

The light beyond my doubt
Deep inside reality
Enlightening within
Tonight as the lights go out
The light by which I see

To write I believe in God
But not like some might say
In where miracles begin
In me in my own way
Though heretical and odd
I believe anyway
