dear g-d

i feel you so near,
so intrinsically, intimately close to me
that i don't realize
your presence most of the time.
i feel you though -
those times, when you touch my soul.
your brilliance -
its so great that i weep.
yes, weep.
not tears of sorrow
but some sort of osmosis.
with a simple, gentle brush
of your fingertips across my soul,
your luminescence fills me so much.
my vessel ... my body ... my shell
cannot withstand this brilliant light:
the unbearable light of life.
pure ... radiant ... blinding
and so ... hence the tears.
and your light shines thru
my rips and tears
and i feel ...
a wave of infinite spiritual intensity
an intensity i can only describe as
coming in from the cold.
