What Does God Look Like?

When I was a child 
I thought God was a tiny dude
Kinda like a trolls doll
Sitting on a throne
Engulfed in flames
But now I'm not so sure 
What does God look like? 
Is God in the color purple? 
How about blue and green? 
Is God in all the things that make me feel serene?
Is God in the wildflowers?
Orchids and honeysuckle?
Is God in the face of a toddler 
Whose popsicle is melting 
As the afternoon sun gets hotter? 
Is God the friend 
Who consoles you 
When a loved one meets their earthly end?
Is God your cheerleader 
When challenging times begin 
And sticks with you through thick and thin?
Is God a sincere hug
That lets you know you really are loved?
Is God a nice warm pile of blankets
Protecting you from the cold?
A soft place to lie down 
Regardless of whether you're young or old?
Is God the fullness from a plate of noodles?
How about the calm I feel when I doodle?
Is God the sunrise and sunset?
The moon and stars that haven't come up yet?
I have this one question 
Please tell me if you can 
What does God look like?

STHU

Sometimes my brain is just so full of shit
Illogical 
Unrealistic thoughts 
Bullying me, as if I'm a child again 
So I tell it to shut the hell up 
and fuck off
