omnipotence

A Poem by rt farris
"

i believe

"
god 
is an idea
most who confess
don't understand
its power lies
in the metaphor
not the literal not
the confused imaginings
of the unimaginative

god
is in the winds
the weather pattern
swirling about the
earth
in the tornadoes and
the hurricanes that amaze
even as they ravage
the people and things
we hold dear

god
is the idea
that binds us here
earthbound
with the birds and
the snails
with the bees and
the ants
all connected all
bound by the laws of
nature and science

god is
an idea not confined
within the limitations of
biblical phrases and pages
not neatly placed
between the fears and
prayers of our lesser
selves

god is an idea
