the Universe is neither fair nor righteous nor good
fair and righteous and good are human concepts
subjective judgements
it's likewise flawed to say things are the way God has meant them to be
as intent is a human concept itself
if you believe God listens to and answer your prayers
do you know what listening and answering is to God?
do you think God listens or answers in anything close to the human concept of those words?
when you ask in your prayers for what you believe is needed
do you think that you know more than God what is needed or that God shall not act until you ask?
God is the grain of sand
and the beach the grain sits on
and the shore the beach is found on
and the ocean the shore borders
and the world which holds the ocean
and the star the world orbits
and the galaxy the star lives in
and the cluster the galaxy resides in
and the universe the cluster exists in
God is the Universe of universes
everything that is anywhere
in time and space
and outside time and space
there is not anything which is not God
God is the All the Universe the Everything
we are so removed from the level of the All that we cannot hope to understand It
It is beyond our vision
beyond our place
but we can know that things are
and things are because that is how things are
and all things are part of the All that is all things
and the All that is all things is God
and that is enough

Even as an agnostic, I still have to say: that is beautiful. I feel like it is alive. It slips through your pores, and it dyes your brain a becoming shade of lavender. The color slides down the optical nerves, awakening us all to the glory of the world around us. Your poem is a legal psychedelic; our pupils dilate, literally opening up to the world around us, letting more in, and overwhelming our senses with a feeling of well-being and peace. I humbly thank you for allowing us this moment of nirvana, this glimpse of the heavens, this brush with god.

P.S.
I'm curious; do you believe in organized religion? What are you religious views? If you feel this is too personal for some reason, I understand. I don't want to offend you; the poem just made me wonder.
My spiritual views are to complex to put down in a single reply, but my posts on them can be found here.
when you ask in your prayers for what you believe is needed
do you think that you know more than God what is need Really good question. Initially, yes, I thought I knew better than god. It has only been in the last decade that I realized I do not. 11 years ago my mother died from breast cancer after a long battle. My family and I prayed and prayed and all our friends did the same, but she still died. A few years later, I realized i loved talking with my father. When we were growing up, I hated spending time with him. For the most part all communication with him was through my mother. Part of the reason our relationship changed was that her death 1. made him see things differently and 2. forced us to have direct communication. So as I see it now, I was so lucky to have her for over 2 decades and now I have gained a wonderful father that I would not have been friends with otherwise. So now when I pray, I ask for what I think I need and then I also ask that if this is not what is best for me that I have the understanding I need and that god continue to watch over me. | |

Art is what allows us to communicate with gods.
