One tired Sunday morning
on my way to morning worship
My eyes were drawn out my window
to gaze longingly, at the growing sun

Lost in reverie I began
To roam my mind
again and again
through the birthing sky
I was handed
my spirit's release
undemanded
God was stretching,
yawning, getting up
for the day
my maker was smiling
for he, or she found me
today
fondly thinking
of the glorious seeds
spread through the heavens
bringing light, springing life
like you and me.

Idle time gazing at our Sun
feeling connected with the stars above
the Heavens were smiling and
I was grinning
on my way I could not
think about sinning

until we parked
at the church’s lot
Father saying “Hurry up,
we’ll save you a spot”

groaning I got up from
God’s embrace
to go worship “god”
but empty I’ll stay
until I feel called
To break out and view
a day being born
or a night be cued

I would hold these thoughts
deep in my stomach
all throughout church
each song as I sung it
I wished to be out
in God’s great embrace
with love in my heart
not fear as my taste

that day while repenting
I could not help but grin
as instead of a Christian
I felt quite Pagan.

and spent as much time as possible
in the trees..

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Hear, hear.

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.
