ON THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

 

Shall I prove Your existence,

Therefore,

Based on the unchanging rationality of

Numbers?

Shall I enter the gates of heaven

With an abacus

Like those who would go about counting my good

And bad deeds

So as to measure my karma

And predict the outcome of my next life?

Say I live my entire life beyond

The box they put me in to

And commit no deed,

Good or evil,

Which they understand,

Therefore rendering

The abacus

Impotent.

Likewise,

Before You,

I shall bring no abacus;

For I understand the unchanging

Truth

Of numbers;

Yet Your

Truth

Is uncountable.

Shall I count my faith?

Shall I count my love?

For these things are beyond reason

And therefore beyond man.

You are beyond my reason

My wisdom

My existence, life, and understanding;

You meet me in my faith

And in all my senses

I cannot see, hear, smell, taste, or touch

You;

In all my senses

Apportioned from Your

Love;

In all my reason

I cannot reason with love;

Therefore, it is that which I shall bring

Before You in heaven;

Because I am too small

To bear it alone.
