I was talking with God the other day
Pleasant conversation really
Nothing untoward and no bad language
Regular meetings had become infrequent
My journey in life taking a new direction
He seemed pleased that I had returned
Smiling as we spoke, but really enthralled

My faith had been failing for some time
Like others surrounding me, I was skeptical
Firmly believing in his presence for many years
Captivated by the beauty bestowed in every day life
Yet he had failed to treat his creation with respect
Parting company and vanishing for thousands of years
Perhaps on a mission in the galaxy to better this attempt

I was talking to God one on one
No fear and nothing to hide, certain he would listen
“God” I uttered with trepidation but also with respect
“What have you become and why am I here?”
He responded with much love and patience
Promising that he had never left any of his flock
Assuring in his care and attention for all who believed

Although faith had dwindled, my hope was genuine
Knowing that his existence was in my very soul
Needing to return to the upbringing I thrived upon
Neglecting these little contra taunts lessened my spirit
Advice from above that was bettered by no single being
Past discrepancies erased in moments through forgiveness
My salvation in his capable hands once more

I was talking to God the other day
My prayers answered with love.
