God

Beauty, is it really necessary
To the larger scheme of things?

Why does this godless creation
Of Big Bang
Of Natural Selection
Need to be awe-inspiring?

Economies could have survived
Nights without moonstruck romance
Evenings less melancholy
And a sky less heavenly

Beauty, is it merely incidental
In this amoral indifferent cosmos?

What are our feelings made of
Particles, or waves?
What is the pH value of
Right and wrong?

Sitting under a great tree
Hearing a little bird sing
I wondered
Have I been wrong all along?
