If There Were No God

If There Were No God

If there was no God
What would be the reason for meeting you?
What hope could I give a child's eyes
Gazing at the heavenly skies...
Wondering if God was up there,
And if God's word was true.

If there were no God
What would be the point of me loving you?
When that final day,
They remove your gown
And lay you down in the pit of earth.

With you in a tomb, with no one to take you
and me to heaven, on our next journey.

If there were no God
What would be the point of you and me?







Free To Roam

So many souls have gone
Their kinetics so clear to me
Without the cipher of their voice
Hushed by the transcendent wind.
They gust where no one goes
Spirits free to roam,
A God of their own.

Above the wild countryside
I stood high on a hill,
The majesty of loneliness
Within myself instilled;
As I ponder my life unfilled,
The years that remain
Till I am free to go.

In the lofty nimbus clouds I abide
As a white spirit in the sky.
Till the cloak of darkness overcomes
And the light of heaven displays:
An amazing plethora of stars
That I am free to roam
As a new embryo.

Hi Shadows :)
I dont want to open up a whole can of worms here...... but..... it seems to me, that if there were no God, it would make no difference at all to there being a point, in two people sharing their lives together.
best wishes

Despite the subject matter, this seems light and positive. :) I was happy to read it. A sweet love poem.

I like both poems. They have a certain intensity of emotion which take you to unthought-of regions of soul. Thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you all for commenting. :)

I enjoyed both poems and felt #1 was the stronger of the two.

Part of #1 reminds me of an LDS primary song I love to sing, “A Child’s Prayer”, which starts "Heavenly Father, are you really there ?" #1 evokes within me the hope, and doubts, of an eternal spiritual journey together. I'd expound more but his is not the forum to do so.

Thank you for sharing.

I think you have a beautiful spirituality that hits the mark when it comes to pondering the divine. These are religious poems and, as such, I am inspired by your words. Heartfelt. Looking at these through a secular lens, they are harder to appreciate.
