Catch the Early Train (1-20-2018)

A completion of a week
A desire for Thanksgiving to God.
No time for prayer with a statue
Forget to stop by your shrine
Work must be done
Catch the early train that isn't so early
Catch up with your profile
Glimmer of followers
Within media feeds comes an image of spirit
Should I pray while I wait?
Look another landscape!
Forget about God
tie your shoe, and try not to touch the ground while doing it
Industry stands before you,
bridges you ride over
A geometric criss-cross that appears aesthetic yet has deep functions
You consider the age of the city
You consider the age of the river
Look at the two existing side by side
Man will continue to create, even if his trash stretches beyond the atmosphere into space
Where is God in this?
Why, he is right beside you
Your hand reaches your chest
Somehow prayer exists in this abstraction
And while a desire is there to pencil every piece in graphite, or illustrate in words
You are merely a witness for beauty.
