Conversations with God

-" What is the source of this endless grief?"
-" Your stray thoughts and lack of belief."
-" Why does the night weigh on me?"
-" You said, 'let me alone be.' "
-" Who do I go back to? You?"
-" Yes, if your heart wishes to."
(She turns up the volume and dedicates
George Michael's Fast Love to the voice
that is speaking to her, the voice from
behind the 2 am sky that stretches across
the front window and outlines the clouds
with a certain light when u expected absolute
darkness. She can't get her eyes off it.
It is grand. It is beautiful. Certainly powerful.
For a moment she is not alone or is it
another illusion. They groove to the music
and the speedometer rises to 75.
She thinks maybe if she stepped on the gas
a lil more, the sky and she can merge.
The mind conjures union. Will this
moment ever come again? Sometimes
even the faithless want to feel the warm
embrace of the Divine. An old feeling
comes back and she is smiling)
-" I feel lighter, thank you. Now you may go away.
Let's not pretend that you have grand plans for me. "
-" What if I did ? Finish your term of pain but leave
those scorched lips half parted, so that you can drink
when your dew is ready."
Conversations with God or
the illusions of a twisted mind ?
How will she ever know?

Just to clarify, the faithless know this to be an illusion and the ones with faith know it to be the former. So where does she belong?

No, I meant faith in oneself. Not in any God or Power, but in the truth that you are what you want to be and much more :)
