I feel with God
His oneness
He takes my breath away
Exhaling and inhaling
Rhythmically in and out
Present in prayer and meditation
He exists inside me
And outside of me
He is the life force that exists in all creatures
He occupies the whole universe
Yet he has found a home
Within the inner corners of my heart
He is the force that holds
Molecules and heavens together
Circling counter clockwise
Like the Tawaf around the Kabaa
And he knows everything
How everything comes out of Nothingness
He is the Great Friend of the forests
He is the great artist
His canvas is nature
He is Beauty
God is the Totality of our Experience
He created the moon and constellations
So we would know time and direction
Everywhere…you turn…you will see his Face
He creates inspiration within our minds
So that we can create and do great things
He is the voice inside of us
That in darkness and in the face of great evil
Gives us the courage to do
What is right
He is the most merciful…the most kind
His love is more tender
Than a mother's love for her child
He is all these thing
I cherish Him
HoldHim close to my heart
hope that I may meet Him on this Earth
And the hereafter.
