As if (We liv
(We live as if we are immortal-Wm. James)
the tide reflects its own enigma
countless souls
cruise along infinities of space
within the numberless galaxies each
uniquely to itself
as if they count
as if they matter Precisely
then before the storm
clouds roll across the heavens
in a burst of energy
tells us of a possibility
of a purpose that must be felt
then abruptly as before
the storm subsides
to fulfill a sudden shift
broken shells line the sands
as if there is a design
as if there is a purpose
After sending a mini rainbow
the sun recede behind my shoulder
a deepening shadow falls
as if my own
or that of a stranger?
this personal God thinks only of me
together we cradle our opposites
we live as if we will never die
We pray as if there is a God
Jack Mashman
