Rumpled God

Today, something short! The Seeker by Joey Garcia…

 

The world is smitten with a god

who keeps a sharp crease in his pants,

and whispers, “No! Not like that!”

Oh, but I love the rumpled God

who forgets where he lives, forgets

his own name but never forgets mine.

  1. This reminded me of the poem of Hafiz titled, “The God Who Only Knows Four Words”:
    Every child has known God,
    Not the God of names,
    Not the God of don’ts,
    Not the God who ever does anything weird,
    But the God who knows only 4 words.
    And keeps repeating them, saying “Come dance with Me, come dance.”

    –Hafiz
