God Opened His Hands

God opened his hands

scattering grains of sand

through outstretched fingers

laying the foundation

for the dancing waves

of the cerulean sea.

Foaming his love

in laps of passion

into the arms

of the waiting shore.

Sparkling radiant light

illuminates ocean vistas

stretching to the unknown.

A new beginning dawns

awakening the morning

washing the tarnish

off our drowsy bodies

replenishing and repairing

turmoils of the past.

Of this, we can be sure:

The sun arises

as did the Son

peeking over horizon

holding arms open

welcoming daybreak.

Soft hazy pigments

inviting us back

from the darkened night.

In the evening

the sun clothes its aura,

resplendent in its

coat of many colors,

kisses us goodnight

is tucked into dreams

safe in midnight pigment

illuminated by myriad stars.

Theology

At a bus stop, light rain, 

While penciling dreams

On a job application

I saw God pushing

A shopping cart filled

With half sent prayers. 

And from no great distance

They looked to be made of

Cigarette packs and 

Fast food wrappers. I

Knew mine were in

There, somewhere.

I saw God

while in the backseat

of a '57 Chevy

Where I trod-

I saw God...

Clouds roil

Like restless souls

Cross quiet woods

And gentle wold

Whitecaps bejewel

A restless sea

Milky Way rises

In regal majesty

No greater beauty than

A snow crowned mountain peak

Might right here on earth

Be the heaven we seek?

A holy inheritance,

Promised the World's meek

Where we trod-

We saw God...

salve

I was bathed in awe,

saturated in supernatural drips

from heaven's floor.

But my Eden dissipated

in a pfff of mist,

forced through micro mesh

of violence.

Dragged and drudged, headfirst

in a riptide, deep.

Thrashing about

in the dark night of the soul,

I came to rest my chin

on wreckage of my psyche

in a God forsaken sea.

I need healing salve.

I saw God in those days gone by...

"Just breathe" they said nothing but thoughts of pain in my head! "C'mon you can do this!"

"Ok now big push!!!!"

All of a sudden I had a sweet little boy in my arms!

Forget all the crap I had to go through to get him here. Forget that I almost lost him once when his dad beat me, and just now when he was being born the cord was wrapped around his neck four times. Yes he was a blue boy, but none of that mattered now, because just now this sweet precious little boy that I fought so hard for, is finally here and he just looked up and smiled at me, and I swear I saw God

in his eyes and I knew things were going to get better.

Her.

And in the beauty of her face, I saw God.

I See God In Your Face

I saw God in your face. I picked you up from the floor. Tiled and dirty. Arms scarred and beaten by the needle at your side

And I'm holding you. Beautiful and broken. Because I saw God in your face.

Message from Skaro

Dear Doctor,

We've just finished a

thousand year war;

now we're feeling low.

If it's not revealing

too much plot

time's been

moving slow.

Do you hear

the bell ringing?

Have you smelled

the coffee yet?

Let me drop

another clue:

Is your blood

also singing?

And River's too?

O yes, I realise

You're still forlorn.

Rose has withered

Amy's gone,

and Clara's history.

But could you

please unveil

one mystery?

How much time's

left before

the coming storm?

Don't be a stranger,

we'd feel neglected.

Let us know when

another visit

can be expected.

You know,

isn't it odd,

I once looked into

your eyes and

I saw God.

Or perhaps

the devil incarnate.

Oh, by the way

we've just seen

news of other

intelligences

in the universe.

Compared to those

we found today

you're just a man

with feet of clay.

Please don't neglect

your duty to serve

and to protect these

greater intellects.

Or wouldn't it

be really great

If we could

just Exterminate!

Now we've finished

with the Thals,

it's my dearest hope

we can be pals.

Tick tock,

Davros Kaled
