I am part of something greater than myself
some would call God and others Goddess
or perhaps Buddha,Allah,Jehovah or Shiva
something greater as the breath of the wind
breathing life into all that exists
as the raindrops falling, filling the oceans
becoming rivers, lakes and waterfalls
something greater as simple as a dewdrop
clinging to my skin in the early hours of morn
as it clings to the leaves and spider webs
something greater even as the universe spins
holding within it pinpoints of light
from an ominous burning star that is the sun
moonbeams full of the wonder of stardust
I am a part of that something greater even
as it exhales in anguish breathing as the wind
creating devastating storms of despair
causing the oceans to rise up flooding the
banks of land, becoming hurricanes
and I hear and feel them all because I
am part of something greater
I know the sigh of relief breathed into a breeze
a rainbow after storms the colors of hope
shining through a waterfall because I am
part of something greater

Thank You! I tend to have eclectic beliefs all said. Raised up in the Catholic church, married and joined the Lutheran (doing studies at Lutheran U and Seminary) and until a few years back attended the Methodist. But I like many things about Hinduism and Buddhism so am happy where I now am at. I am learning to do more with digitally creating art although I still go back to pencil and paper. 🙂
