I dont believe in God, but I agree with Beth that as a species, we can be pretty darn clever, and getting smarter as the world gets older. You are living proof of this, Claire. And I agree with other Beth that rome is amazing and I'm so going on that st davids trip(:
in reply to Bethan's comment, i use the argument of freewill, and actually we're cleverer than we think we are, we just don't... think about our decisions. so that's my argument to the existance of God =) otherwise GREAT POEM, i really like it, the earth shines, like a brand new marble, polished to perfection. really good :)

Edit: Sorry just realised you used the bit from the ceiling of the cistine chapel for the picture, awesome!! (sorry I have a slight obession with rome atm...you know if you go to sd there's a pilgrimage to rome..hint hint...)
