The Worst Thing
The worst thing we ever did
was put God in the sky
out of reach
pulling the divinity
from the leaf,
sifting out the holy from our bones,
insisting God isn’t bursting dazzlement
through everything we’ve made
a hard commitment to see as ordinary,
stripping the sacred from everywhere
to put in a cloud man elsewhere,
prying closeness from your heart.
The worst thing we ever did
was take the dance and the song
out of prayer
made it sit up straight
and cross its legs
removed it of rejoicing
wiped clean its hip sway,
its questions,
its ecstatic yowl,
its tears.
The worst thing we ever did is pretend
God isn’t the easiest thing
in this Universe
available to every soul
in every breath.

Regarding the composition, organic form and geometric form, and linear elements and form are the functioning contrasts. The organic form and geometric form create an interplay of constructs and dynamic equilibrium amid chaos and conflict that can serve as catalysts for change and renewal. The color symbolizes regeneration, the power and passion of love and the creative force of light.
