Do Not Believe In God
By Steve Gillman
Do not believe in god
Do not have faith
SEE GOD
in stars and sunlight
and the face of your lover
HEAR GOD
in wind and waves
and the music of the birds
TASTE GOD
in berries and beer
and meals eaten with friends
SMELL GOD
in flowers and forests
and the air after a storm
FEEL GOD
in snow and sand
and the warmth of a fire
KNOW GOD in love and longing
and your hunger for beauty
RETURN
again and again
return to these things
FORGET YOUR CHURCHES
They are cages for God
that capture only humans
BELIEF IS HERESY
FAITH IS IGNORANCE
And you are killing love
and truth and beauty
every time you speak his name
