“The sky looks like a marble,” I said

“And that cloud looks like a heart”

White wispy clouds so wonderfully artful

“Or a baby T-Rex,” my husband replied

We said whatever came into our heads next

As we walked the neighborhood on a Thursday night

“Some people are crazy”

“The Bible didn’t fall out of heaven”

“It’s so old, how can we know who’s right?”

We’re just humans

But amazing

He said a human is someone who’s half good, half bad

What’s it all mean

I don’t know if we’ll ever figure it out

All I know is I feel this clout

Something pulling me

And I see it in him

In every human

The need for love and connection

I’ve felt it in forgiveness and when I look at the clouds

When I walk with my husband and we talk it out

It’s something bigger than the sky

Smarter than all our alibis

But even in the treachery and evil

There’s something I see

Death is injustice

Why does it sadden you and me

Why would anyone trust us

But here we are, human

Marveling at the sky

Or whatever we’re doing

I want more than the colors and shaped clouds

I want what allures me, the mystery I can’t figure out

I’ll keep searching

I want to move toward the good

Till I’m 100%

No longer deficient

My husband with me too

And all my neighbors

Everyone across the ocean

Every stranger

Till heaven opens

And we’re no longer half and half

But fully magnetized

Wholly good and alive

Won’t You make us whole
