I live in this world
I am not from another planet
My existence relies on the Sun and its light
I study the light because it gives me the ability to see God
We know the speed of light
We know the Sun’s rays are made of particles, photons
I raise my arm from side to side measuring the displacement
to replicate the wave length
God sent us this light
because God is light
God needs light to be God
God is on this planet
And all of us
We are on this planet
We are of this planet
We are of the light
and due to our connection to our wonderful star
we are also beyond this planet
God is the mountains absorbing every inch of nearly 93 million miles of light
a continuous beam of God
reaching out to touch
nothing other than another form of its very own self
God is every plant and animal on the mountains turning its light
into its life
God is the ocean reflecting photons
and glistening in its glory
Warming the seas and providing the chance to live to creatures deep below
down to fathoms beyond where any measure of light is detectable
though its reach is there
Providing breath to the deepest trench
where God can still be found
God is in the cities
rich with footprints and endless in the energy of progress
God is in the villages with the Godly people who travel down roads
bathing themselves in their own light
God is in the sunflowers as much as the ivy
the elk as much as the otter
the falcon as much as the serpent
The nobility and the peasant have equal light inside of them
God is in the many as well as the few
God is in
and is
our planet
God is a sick fish absorbing micro-plastics
God is a jungle turned to wasteland
God is a river run dry
God is a village turned warzone because diamonds were found
God is the love that every thing needs
God is in the every thing that is needing that love
God is today as equally as tomorrow
Tomorrow the same as yesterday
God is an African-American lesbian
God is a father who loves the God inside his children
traveling across lands for their safety
God is in the dying mother with no access to medicine
God is the human with no rights
God is in the children stolen into slavery
God is in the boy who loves his best friend with all his bravery and might
God is the altar boy
God is the light that cannot be dimmed
The light that permeates and feeds
The light that reflects and shines
The love that warms
The love that connects us
The love that can be challenged but not broken
The love that can be ignored but never forgotten
The light that refracts into all colors
The colors that create every image
You are of this world
As much as beyond it
You are the light equally of here
as of there
Because you are nothing without it
Because you are nothing without God
Because you can only be you
You can only be God
Like everything else
