How easy it was to see God
looking out of another's eyes

to see the bruises and scars
inside
that covered their glorious Being
and impelled them
to anger and bitterness

that moved them to lash out to
a hostile world
as protection
to their unlimited and absolute God within

How easy it was to
imagine their stories
of pain and isolation
and feel for their plight

How harder it was
to see God looking out
of the mirror into
its own Eyes

Into a flawed Being
flailing and flopping
its vulnerable life
on harsh alien shores

One day
I saw God looking out of
my Eyes
and in that moment
time and my heart beat stopped

I saw God shed tears
for a story, unvenerated, untold

years on,
how much longer it took
to look back
and see the truth of all past
intuitions
and awe at the wonder
of what was always there.
