Why I Want to Touch God

Why I Want to Touch God

To lose myself in infinity & eternity,
Merging with everything that is,
Has been,
Ever will be.
Realising that there is no time
And there is no space
Because in true Reality
Everwhere and everwhen are all at once
Here, right now.

To become one with the Force,
The unthinkably Massive.
Too big by far to allow me
To hold onto my tiny separate existence.
My grasp on who I think I am
Is pathetically tenuous in the face
Of something so overwelming,
So universal,
So All Mighty,
As to not exist at all.
I have to let go of myself,
Yield to the wondrous enormity
Of the feeling of the Truth
Which blots out my sense of self
As the brilliant, scorching summer sun
Blots out the faint distant stars.

To know the ever present unknowable
Which deep, deep down
We all have always known.

To experience what it all means,
Life, The Universe, Everything,
In a way which moves & transforms me forever,
In the deepest, most central part
Of my sense of who I am.

I will have touched God
And nothing will ever be the same again.
