So You Know

I taste what you taste. I know the kind of lyrics your soul most likes.
I know which sounds will become resplendent in your mind
And bring such pleasure your feet will jump and whirl.

When anything touches or enters your body
Never say it is not God, for He is just trying to get close.

I have no use for divine patience--my lips are always burning
And everywhere I am running from every corner of this world and sky
Wanting to kiss you...

I am every particle of dust and wheat--you and I are ground from His own body.
I am rioting at your door; I am spinning in midair like golden leaves
Trying to win your glance.

I am sweetly rolling against your walls and shores all night
Even though you are asleep.
I am singing from the mouths of animals and birds
Honoring our beloveds promise and need: to let you know the truth.

My dear, when anything touches or enters your body
Never say it is not God, for He and I are just trying to get close to you.

God and I are rushing from every corner of existence
Needing to say, "We are yours."

Never Say It Is Not God
