Explaining God

Genesis unfolding

In the beginning

Once upon a time

Tick-tock

Can’t go back

Revelation’s final stop.

God in a book.

That’s where to find him.

 

We know a lot,

Or do we know at all?

Science ever shifting,

Chameleonic theory

Putting God in a box,

Or in books.

That’s where to find him.

 

‘May your god go with you’

Allen wryly smiled

God in a statue,

Church or holy shrine.

Man’s creation.

That’s where to find him.

 

Opening our minds,

Accepting how little we know.

Humble willingness,

Not creating him.

Not pre-conceiving.

That’s where to find him.

I'm still looking (probably in the wrong places)...but I like your poem.

Everyone looks for God, but so easy to 'create' him, as you say - our opinion, like a carving. Which is why Jesus came to teach what he's like, and pointed us to God's actual words down the years, which is what is gathered together in the Bible book. Rhiannon

Absolutely right Rhiannonw.  I was aiming the poem at those who twist words and meanings.  I'm not great on icons but not against them.  I  totally agree with you.
