I know it’s childish and I don’t believe it but I sure do wish it
my most hoped for prayer
not possible probably
but hoped for felt deep
like all the human cells and all the microorganisms which are my greater part are feeling and hoping for this foolish wish to be true
like we’re all on the same wave
I can imagine it
dream it
feel it on my skin
hear it singing along each nerve vibrating through each membrane
mine
and my
lovely not human compatriots who keep me alive who are so unknowable
and remind me of a God which might exist even as they surely do
. . .
I die and there they all are
everyone I most want to see
each one knowing how much I love them
and I’m there with them
and there is no end
and I know it’s childish and I don’t believe it
but I sure do wish it
