That Window Pane

Khalil Gibran once said
religion are like the fingers
stemming to the palm which is God
or something to that extent
I for one used to think
that sometimes god had too many such, "fingers"
and I dont see why people try to cut each other up
in the name of "God"
sounds stupid to even think about it
that killing would be an extension of their love?
absurd!
I for one feel that God is where your heart is...
I mean...
just because you dont see through the same window pane
doesnt mean you dont see the same sky
even if your wondow pane arent the more popular ones
labelled, "Christianity"; "Buddhism"; "Islam"
I don't think mine has a label at all...
but I see the sky all the same
yet sometimes...
I know...I know...
I might've stained the glass a bit
or might've gotten tired of the window
and forgot to even glance upon it
but no matter how much I forget
how dark the other side of the room looks
all I had to do was turn around...
look through the pane
maybe wipe it clean a bit
and the same blue sky will be shining
I wish I could somehow reach out and say thank you
but in the meantime...
I'm still searching for a way
to break this window
and not only see the sky
but feel the wind
and run with you
God
or whatever I should call you
I know you are out there
and I will go on searching
