I pray to You
the God of big designs
and of small details
the God of all things in between
reveal to me your secrets
'cause I'll never find out
on my own
I pray to You
the God of my blood
of RNA and DNA
of brain waves
for that matter, radio waves and micro waves
how frightening You are!
the extent of your power
hidden in those dark matters
reveal to me your thirst
for adventures
I say to You, my Lord
the finest creation ever
must be love
yet, in close examination
it's what we lack, I fear
is the engine that pushes us forward
to the unknown region
of your world
love and the attainment of love
dull our drive
thus
reveal to me your imperfection
before You demand my trust
I pray to You, my Lord
take back your prophets, saviors, religions
and leave me with just a knowledge
that You, too, are in your prison.
