god is ugly-pretty

god is ugly-pretty

dangling our wishes from a tall, tall tree

and looking down at us, unfriendly-seeming at first.

 

then you remember to look twice, and find that even in IT’s unabashed brightness, there is a familiar feeling

in that great sun-beam, almighty, and willing to

lift you

 

crawl into that gigantic hand and let it pull you up from dark surroundings

don’t worry about your form yet, it’s a baby step. that comes later

let the light show you what to express

let the light take you to a feeling of home
