Finding God in Your Eyes

A Love Poem : Finding God in Your Eyes

Finding God in your eyes seemed like a never-going-to-happen kind of thing
Like the existence of purple four-leaf clovers in the field behind our house
Not there
Never going to be there because they aren't real I decided
Just a myth, a wish that maybe there is more to life
That train wrecks and coincidence are really just a coincidence
Hoping God created us and that there was a reason for it all
God spoke to me through you when I stopped trying to control everything
Each minute of each day hoping to manipulate each feeling that everyone felt
Giving in
I stopped
Stopped driving myself crazy
Stopped
Stopped
Stopped
Do you know how hard it is to stop I was scared
I found God in your eyes-- in my heart
and the field was covered in purple flowers that bloomed inside of the word 'Love'
The fragrant petals covered my body
And God took my body into his hands pushing the petals into my flesh
Like you
You are my flesh
You are my bones
I smell of you and the petals are you and you are God and so am I
