What kind of God?
Daniel Ladinsky ("Love Poems from God")
What kind of God would He be
if He did not hear the
bangles ring on an ant’s
wrist as they move the earth
in their sweet dance?
And what kind of God would He be
if a leaf’s prayer was not as precious to creation
as the prayer His own son sang
from the glorious depth
of his soul for us.
And what kind of God would He be
if the vote of millions in this world could sway Him to change the divine law of love that speaks so clearly with compassion’s elegant tongue,
saying, eternally saying:
All are forgiven – moreover, dears,
no one has ever been guilty.
What kind of God would He be
if He did not count the blinks of your eyes and is in absolute awe of their movements?
