Maybe

Maybe god
is really just
a human
finding
the meaning of life,
where he is so beaten,
so broken
that there is
nothing left
but understanding.
And he sees
the meaning in living
when living seems too hard
and the fear vanishes,
nothing but a shimmer
in the distance,
and he knows
what it means
to have faith
in what the universe
provides.
Maybe when people say
they’ve found god,
they really mean
they’ve found themselves.
Maybe they just need
to give someone credit
for the magic inside of us.
Maybe that’s god.
