Who is God ?
the engineer ?
the poet ?
Who is God ?
the sciences ?
the unknown ?

Who is he ?
the beauty ?
or the spirit ?

Who is God
a question ?
an answer ?
Who is he ?
the death ?
the living ?

The logic
or the absurdity ?

Who is God ?
Has he given a clue ?
Who is he ?
a number ?
a pyramid ?
the one
or the infinite ?

Who is he ?
a He ?
a She ?
A piece of cake
or a drink ?
a Hurrycan
or a river ?

Why
did he
let us think
that he
could be
no existing ?

A fascinating poem, Yann.  

Perhaps He is many of these, even most, maybe all.  

I have an answer to the last question, though many may disagree.  I think He let us think that He could be non-existent because He has given us free will to believe in His existence or not - to choose him or to reject Him.  Also, it gives some of us a reason to prove His existence and to introduce Him to friends verbally or tacitly.  

Again, some may disagree that my proof is proof, but here it is for what it's worth in all its four words - "Look at a butterfly."

Thank you for your interesting poem, Yann.

Thank you for wondering, dear Yann.

I love to think that He is the One Who goes by many names, but the best definition I can come up with is: LOVE, He is LOVE. And He permeates all things.

So, look into the mirror and discover His divine spark within YOUR eyes ...

Love,
Margherita

I guess we'll never really know who God is but whoever he /she is deserves our respect and thanks and, of course, love.  God must be love because one can't really adequately define either of them.  No doubt if we ponder the question long enough we'll come up with something that we can "live" with.

Yo Yann,

I know this God person.  He's the guy that sometimes answers my prayers.  He seems to always be there when I really need him.

You'd be surprised at some on my prayers he's answered.

I find myself pondering more over this question:

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him?"

as asked by the bard of old to Him.  

It is good to stretch as you have led us to do.  Love to read that which makes us think...good work.
