Nature god

sorenbarrett

 

It should be clear god doesn't interfere

shame, judge, punish or blame

is deaf to pleas, has no ear

impartial, all treated the same

 

Doesn't favor one over another

Is kind and accepts each as they are

Believer or not, everyone's a brother

Peaceful, doesn't sanction war

 

Doesn't interfere with free will

Is merciful, will not hate or berate

Won't intervene to save or kill

With patience will wait, shares their dinner plate

 

Never commands

Doesn't build a wall

Understands

Leaves the door unlocked for all

 

God is warm in a winter storm

in the summer to please a cool breeze

providing shade from the scorching sun

Gives rest to all when their day is done

      It is differing religions which cause the problem and the people who aren’t tolerant of others beliefs. I look to Mother Nature for solace. Beautifully penned sorenbarrett. Happy Tuesday.

        Thank you Cassie for the read and comment I too look to nature as a wise and higher evolved god.

              I am sure there will be many who find these well placed words reassuring .. I personally like them for what they are .. a poem filled with optimism and hope .. as both a Buddhist and as an individual free thinker, who loves nature .. I feel compelled to try and cover all bases .. Neville 👍

                Thanks Neville for the read and supportive words. I find comfort in nature and feel it has been around a lot longer than man or any religion although I tend to hold some pan physicism ideas. Maybe I am covering the bases as well. Thanks again

                  I sure wish I had some of your optimism. Todays world has me leaning more towards almost despair. Rats.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Thanks for the read and most kind words. I look at things this way: I only go through life once. If I'm not happy I'm wasting time.
