Today I Met God

Today I met God.
He asked me,
"How are you?"
I wondered why he needed to ask.
Before a moment passed, I knew.
He wanted to be my equal.
"I'm alright."
We began to walk.
To where, I'm not certain.
Onwards I went,
Spilling my heart and soul
To one who already knew.
I wished I had known Him longer,
Had Him to comfort my past.
As we talked,
And walked,
He smiled.
At one point our movement ceased.
At a mountain top, He began to weep.
"This world is polluted
By fear,
By anger,
By hate...
And by faithlessness.
Son, brother, friend of mine -
Help others see me,
So that I may cure their blindness."
Amazing, I thought.
Even as He weeps, He smiles.
Can it be?
That if we are willing,
We can share God's emotions?
Just maybe we were created in his image,
Internally as well.
We can cry for what He cries for,
And can always smile as He.
He's there to comfort me,
To fill me with happiness.
I will help others come to know Him,
So He may be their friends.
Today I met God,
And made a friend.
