'have you ever laughed at G-d?'

'have you ever laughed at G-d?' timothy r gates, 12/20/2010

have you ever laughed at G-d?
Sarah and Abraham did,
named their son Issac, yes,
'he will laugh.'
have you ever laughed at G-d?
doing so when not believing?
doing so with fists in the air?
doing so without regret?
Have you ever laughed at nothing?
rains and winds do
Buddha does
children do.
Gods and Goddesses,
myths and legends look down.
Elohim, Adonai and YHWH –
walks among us,
sings our hymns,
teaching us our own.
have you ever buried your
brother, sister, mother, father, grandfather, grandmother –
found yourself laughing, bawling, sobbing, laughing,
quiet?
What if there's no G-d?
Does – laugh?
