God Is A Window



God is a window
opening wide
onto new horizons.
God is a door
leading to adventure
and home.
God is a road
sometimes rocky,
twisting and turning
into the far unknown.

God is a bridge
across the deepest of waters
that sways as you cross it
but never will fall.
God is a stream
lively and refreshing.
God is a sea
of uncharted depths.
God is an iceberg
you only see the tip of.

God is a painting
of finest detail,
sometimes abstract,
hard to interpret.
God is a book,
a page-turner,
a thriller
that will keep you up at night.
God is poetry
that doesn't always rhyme.

God is a song,
the kind of catchy tune
that plays in your head
for weeks on end.
God is a dance,
elegant and dignified
or joyful and wild.
God is a rhythm
deep in your bones
you can't help but tap your feet to.

God is a cup of hot tea
on a cold winter's night.
God is bread
feeding the hungry,
meant to be shared.
God is a table
large enough
for many guests.
God is water
raining on parched ground.

God is adventure,
God is suprise,
a Christmas present,
a treasure chest.
God is a secret
waiting to be told,
waiting to be shouted
from the rooftops.

God is a mountain
infinitely high
but well worth the climb.
God is a sheer drop
you can't see the bottom of -
why don't you
            let
               go
                 and
                    fall
                        into
                            Her.
