No More

    When I found God, He allowed me to sit in His lap
    While He told me a story
    Would you believe me if I said
    That my blood ran colder than ice
    Locking up in a supressing shadow
    In the moments in which He told me
    Of His own experiences
    Of the singular time
    When He also found God
    He took my hand in His,
    The wind soflty sifting through
    The thick locks of his majestic hair,
    His eyes tenderly laid upon my poor, trivial existence
    "Little One," He smiled at me
    I heard white lillies begin to sing,
    As He declared unto me,
    "Fear not,
    "For Fate is not the design,
    "Rather, it is the song that is now long gone.
    "Be with me.
    "Praise Its memory,
    "And hallowed be Thy name."
    So that's exactly what We did
    We sang together in harmony,
    Skipped rocks side by side,
    And we rejoiced for what seemed like forever in peace
    For we no longer feared what no longer was
    He took a moment to reassure me,
    As if it were a promise He'd meant to keep,
    "I'm Yours."
    We made a deal with one another
    For Gods always know how to settle the score
    He started by simply lifting His finger,
    And a deep breath in,
    He looked towards me, and
    He began
    "I deplore - "

    Suddenly, He had disappeared
    The scene around us quickly dissipated
    And the God I had just stumbled upon was undoubtedly
