God In Our Own Minds

Original response of secret love 
that echoes at me from across the lake 
reveals that I, and all humanity, 
are here alone on this slow-spinning globe 
because the faceless demon of my heart 
is all that answers my cry to the stars. 

The strangeness of this universe is mine, 
I whisper soft as wind in tall hill grass, 
but I hear voices in the sudden wind 
that rustles tongues of leaves on eyeless trees 
who seem to speak of secrets I would know 
but murmur wordlessly when I attend. 

I climb this stream of radiance to the sky 
to find dark cave of visions inside stars 
where dream of time began in human minds, 
so I sit still in glow of timeless truth 
to feel whole universe of pulsing forms 
surge through vast hollow of my aching heart. 

While meditating in thought-silent cave 
where time becomes swift motion of my blood, 
I realize God is concept we design 
to account for how men exercise power 
so we comprehend social energy 
of leadership that incarnates as kings. 

We venerate mortal Jesus as God 
because his selfless actions of respect 
present new way tribe leaders may perform 
role of protector and guide for our souls, 
instead of tyrant who exploits our fears, 
but he is dead so we perform his role. 

As leader of his tribe centuries ago, 
Jesus embodied in his mortal frame 
immortal spirit of the Selfless King 
which incarnates in countless other men 
who dedicate their hearts to nurture souls 
of people so we live well in their care. 

Thus God, as Good Leader who loves his tribe, 
reincarnates in countless mortal kings, 
with every generation humans live, 
as representative of Christ on Earth 
through active choice of each new mortal soul 
who performs what they know Jesus would do. 

Jesus is dead, but spirit of his love, 
as leader attentive to what we need, 
awakes again in every human soul 
who chooses to treat others with respect 
when we cultivate God in our own minds 
with conscious scope big as our universe.
