Dead Sea

I saw God in the desert

in some burning bushes.

I heard God on the mountain

in a cave of whispers,

moving over the water,

gathering the fishes,

watching sheep in the meadow

while the shepherds slumbered.

I know that it really means nothing.

I know that it never can happen.

People reading the Bible

like it's holy scripture.

Taking words out of context,

now devoid of meaning.

Using heaven for hatred - almost universal.

Ignorance is the Devil.

Knowledge was the first sin.

I know that it really means nothing.

I know that it never can happen.

Why won't anyone listen

when the Prophet's talking?

No more miracle-makers,

not since television.

Damned to live in the present.

This eternal moment.

Blessed gift of existence.

Clinging to a mystery.

I know that it really means nothing.

I know that it never can happen.

I know.
