my friend doesn't believe in God
and i asked her, "why?"
she said she had no proof
i told her "look around."
so she looked
at the tall trees whispering in the breeze
the autumn leaves crunching underfoot
the darkening sky and its never-ending secrets
the dozens of beautiful people
smiling
laughing
living.
she said, "what am i looking at?"
i told her "proof."
