in the tea bag
permeating hot water,
rising as steam.
in the grimy pockets
of the “work for food” man,
waiting for change.
in the dust on blinds
seeing and not seeing,
silent and still.
in the dark shadows
of a circling hawk,
God is…
God is…
God is...
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

Oh Pat. That's very powerful.
I got chills reading the last three lines... brilliantly done. I love the metaphors, they evoke strong images and feelings.
God is...... ever where
God is....... every thing!
Beautiful Pat. Liked this one a great deal. Pat is... Pat is... Pat is...
just beautiful!
I absolutely agree Pat. This poemprayer, is really beautiful. ...I think I will memorize it.
Beautiful and amazing!
love this!
wonderful ending image
the repetition
so right on
This is a different one for you, isn't it? If I hadn't known that it was yours, I never would have guessed. Nice
lovely one...
Do I detect a haiku influence here Pat?
I really like this one ... particularly the way it expresses the idea that God is anywhere and everywhere.
"What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus, tryin to make his way home ..."
--One Of Us by Joan Osborne

Karasu, it wasn't intended that way, it just kind of dribbled out in three lines. With some minor revision it could be though. Think I'll play with that. Thank you!!
