The cosmos whirls. Imagination’s free
to paupers looking up through Heaven’s maze.
The universe has got enough for me!
Are we the spawn of man-made deity,
or is our maker but this milky haze?
The universe is God enough for me.
“Let riches fade to rags.” An earnest plea.
We’re in accumulation’s human phase.
This universe has got enough for me
without my having to smite oil from Brie!
And manna shall descend right where I laze.
This universe is God enough for me!
I worship it upon my bended knee
and celebrate it in my gnomic lays.
The universe has got enough for me,
and I’m content within it just to be
and think that sometimes it returns my gaze.
This universe has got enough for me!
And Universe is God enough for me.
