Is he in the fire, burning with the rest of the world
or is He the fire
flame-stoker, life-giver, hell-bent
on creation
is he in everything
or is he everything
in the the grand and small and trivial
why would He care
if God made the clockwork universe
can we still tell time (could we ever)
as bits become sentient
and quantum things break mortal minds
some prefer that He stays in the sky
with puffy white cloud beard and kindly thunder booming voice
like the Zeus of old
watching with the smiling of the Sun
even if He is never found
might we still pray?
sending away our worries and hurt
to face the rising light of the bright and ugly day
Wow!
