Then And Now Poem by Mohammad Younus

I prayed, at first, as a little child,
Asking of him little things -Lollypops and toys,
I walked and talked with God my secret things,
Because they taught me: God is with you,
When I gained Consciousness, to know and understand,
How prayer would be like, if I see God around me,
My childish eye looked around, and gazed,
On wondoerous beauty shining in everything, everywhere,
In Childish innocence, I asked him,
When would I see you in human form,
I was conversant with from my first day?
When I gained a little more awareness,
I understood he is imperceivable and is formless,
That tremendously baffled me, and I wondered,
Whom should I love and adore if he is not corporeal?
Then, a mad idea occured to my mind,
I have double visages: one earthly and one divinity,
A long time passed, I realized all is divinity -
Spread out in all things, in heavens and on the earth,
And often since, I feel his light in everything,
I am happy I have found the God,
Filling the time and space with his presence,
Yet, I feel he loves himself through me,
Through my soul, my heart, and even my body
