The Universe Thinks I’m Deserving

The Universe thinks I’m deserving.

This is obvious because I can see

the waves of green green grass

on the springtime hills,

the silhouette of sparrows

as they fly across the orange blue teal

of the twilight sky,

and sunshine

casting diamonds across the surface of the lake.

God thinks I’m deserving.

This is obvious because I can hear

the laughter of playing children,

melodies that reach in and

wrap themselves around my soul,

and drums

that echo the beat of my heart.

The Divine thinks I’m deserving.

This is obvious because I can feel

the luxurious softness

of my pet’s fur,

the silky smoothness

of ice cream as it slides down my throat,

and the tingle

of my skin

underneath

your hands.

Goddess thinks I’m deserving.

This is obvious because there is

lasagna,

and chocolate,

and fruit

that dribbles sweet juice

down my chin.

If all these Holy Ones think I am deserving,

who am I

to say I am not?

Who am I?

Am I more understanding

than the Universe?

Am I more loving

than God?

Do I know better

than the Divine?

Am I smarter

than Goddess?

Well, it seems I must walk the path of logic

this time,

and acquiesce

to the evidence

of the irrefutable truth

that

I

am

Worthy.
