Old Time Religion

I don't know for certain if there is a God

or god or goddess or pantheon, if you will,

of skyward or earthbound divinities,

or an abyss of nothing and randomness

waiting for us nonchalantly 
at the bottom of it all,

but I do know when time and space

are savored open-heartedly and slowly

in this stew of experience we call life

it doesn't matter to me what's ultimate or not,

besides last night's surprising rain and today's

blue dome shimmering overhead and those kids'

from the neighborhood gleeful squeals

wildly announcing that all is well in playful

sweet song on the park's moist and glistening,

green grass.
