Breaking Glass

I live in a glass house but I can’t stop throwing stones
It makes it really hard to hide.
Before all the windows shatter, I turn invisible, slip through the cracks.
God has left the building.

For a long time, a bed of scented flowers pillow my head,
I sleep like the dead
The world turns without me.
My children live, die and fight like they always did,
Nobody notices my absence except me.

I wake, only to find my children can make a mess all by themselves.

Time to throw a few more stones, break a little more glass.

Oh that's wonderful honey! It really hits you in the solar plexus!

I seem to do that a lot to you! Sorry! :D

lol! No you're not! And you shouldn't be either, takes great skill to slam me in the chest with so few words and between you and Dizz I end up nursing my bruised arse an awful lot! ;)

Oh, I'm so fascinated by SPN!God - I kind of love that He's absent and unknown, and sometimes I hope that we don't ever 'see' Him. But then again, it could be wonderful, especially with the Amara sibling story line.

Awesome little drabble!

I'm in two minds about SPN God too - I like that the whole 'is Chuck God thing?' is still unanswered, even though Rob Bennedict is convinced his character was God. The Show hasn't confirmed or denied it.

Love the simultaneous exploration and enigma of this to pieces. <3333

God should be an enigma, don't you think? If you are going to have one at all, that is... :D

You put divinity in such an interesting position here--a plainspoken voice(matter-of-factly present, almost human), a glass-shattering invisibility, a sleeper among the dead, absent, maybe dreaming, waking to break the world again. God hides, shatters, sleeps, slips, dies--that's pretty enigmatic, as you say. (I hear you on the 'two minds' thing, too--Chuck as God, or god as accessible, vs. god as unseen,unknown; does SPN God have to be embodied now that his sister is? Or something. <3
