They talk of good karma, and moksha..for all of us

If you believe in Ram..or Shiva or the thousand gods

And yes, there is heaven if you believe in Allah, or Jesus

I wonder what describes the heaven we find,  the gods.

We ever so unexpectedly find, amongst each of us..

In the friendships and love we share and Almost like gods..

We create the beautiful, when we love another more than ourselves..

In moments of tenderness, laughter, mirth and kindness,  there is a god..

Undescribable but there ever so hidden in plain sight amongst ourselves..

I write this verse .. and a song plays on my playlist.. what if god was one of us?

 When I drape a saree, A pretty one in red

And yes , those  earrings..that dangle 

An anklet, a necklace and a shiny bangle

A little Kajal and maybe a lipstick cherry red

I face the world.. trying to be a pretty face

And then my heart tells me, ever so kindly..

You are beautiful, my dear.. yes, ever so gently..

When he, your love, looks at your face..

You truly are beautiful..

When love looks at you face to face….

Beautiful.
