God the Enjoyer

from Mother Poems and A Crack in Time by Shambhavi Sarasvati at kindred108.love. We're all kindred here.

God is an enjoyer and
our senses are the agents
of God’s appreciation.
Slow down.
Revel in the
textures, sights, smells, sounds and
tastes of God’s world.
Don’t speed like a train
through God’s kingdom
unless you are ready to host
the swaying movement
the vibration of wheels on track
the smell of train air
layered with
engine, folk, and food.
Immerse in the grain 
of landscapes 
as your senses 
carry God
traveling on through.

from The Mother Poems by Shambhavi Sarasvati
