His Pond -- a collaboration

what He saw 

was not what I found

I had looked 

with a hopeful heart 

in an easternly direction 

contemplating His mysteries 

and I found something 

not utterly destroyed 

but completely changed 

and, now I am captivated 

by thoughts

does “nature” still exist anywhere? 

does pure God-light and God-sound live? 

or is every place corrupted by human-kind? 

have we destroyed God while seeking independence? I

s there nothing left untouched and unspoiled? 

and if there is something - someplace still out there…. 

can I find it? 

and if there is nothing - noplace still out there…. 

can I live without it?
