The Invisible Behind Transparent (a dystopian word work)
I’ve found God
Clear and life-giving
Life-sustaining
Recycling consistently
Flowing, falling, dripping
Evaporating raining down
Clouding up in cumulous clouds
Trapped by atmosphere
Forced into a constant state
Held spherically in place
God trapped on a planet
Particles we slithered out of
Crawled out of God
Teardrop like leaking from rimmed eyes
No intention and catastrophic
We became
God surrounded the planet
We floated, damed up, built levies
Re-directed rivers, captured in rain barrels
Always the idea of controlling - containing
Defining, claiming, directing
Each clan of humans using God up
Drinking God down as a singular
Touching God being bathed in God
We have taken God into our collective bodies
God courses through our blood
God is blood
God is in a constant state
Or, transformation ever evaporating
Forever moving from here to there
Transported in jet-streams
Free passage
Scattered continent to continent we populated, we polluted
Cracked open a hole in the atmosphere
God is leaking out
One molecule at a time
Dripping into outer space
God finally free
No time, any time, all-time erased
Never was time
Drought
Thirst
Life evaporated - God gone…
Seeking God to be set free, to be forgiven
We capture, we kill, all in the name of God
God is not dead, God is departing on starlight
Through a hole in the sky, we created
We have set God-free
Finally free, it only took billions of years
God as a space traveler
Astronaut drip drop
Imagine an invisible stream
Flowing up and out away from the earth
God seeping through a cracked sky
If only we had known sooner
That we had been tasting God
That we had God in us
All the time
There was no need for acceptance of, or repentance of, or to receive his love
God flowed through our veins, through our pipes in our homes
In the seas with sunken battle ships
God surrounded the planet in blue
God is not the wind we can’t see but feel, or the color of water
God is not the abstraction of transparency
God is the water that we polluted until undrinkable
That evaporated through the atmosphere, which we broke
An opening was made
God flowed upward and out
Until there was none
No drinkable water
Our end
But not God
God is a martian heading to a new home
We will remain here fighting over water
Dying of thirst
All in the name of God
I discovered God and God was water.
