the doorman (Free verse) by nessness gray eyes lend indifference to the world.
red coat with gold trim
doesn'
t match his stony face.
the people come and go
all so different they
become
individual drops in one vast sea
alike--
the beautiful
the matronly
the human race.
all leave their keys at the door
and
once in a while remember
to express gratitude to
the doorman.

I'd cut off first line before "to the world." Also, some qualitative judgement seems appropriate on the second line -- ie, gay red coat and... or party red... or something (perhaps). MAtronly/beutiful -- what about masculine? Good job.
That's how I would picture God minus the stony face.
almost, but doesn't quite work for me.
I quite like this, but there's not enough. 6. I'd just got into it, and it ended. Write more next time; I'd like to see what you have to say for yourself in a longer piece.
