the face of god

I took a walk in ancient clothes
across your face, a mile
and as I tired I took a rest
in the corner of your smile

my crops slept in barren fields
before my primary death
then your eyes became a sun and moon
as birds danced in your breath

to me you are a woman
vast fields of shimmering hair
in the hardest trials I see you
when no-one else is there

I sailed across your angry tides
when I bowed to grief and fear
yet I always find safe anchor
in the harbour of your ear

I figured for God to have a face that was a mile wide, he would be 9 miles tall. Wouldn't that be something. He would have to be careful where he stepped because his feet could take out an entire town, and places like New York City and Tokyo could be smashed in no time. Godzilla would be jealous.jackolantern elephant
