Looking For God

 

For the longest time

I looked for God

In the scriptures

and quiet of the Holy Temple;

And for me He was never there.

Later, I took long walks in the woods

And listened for His Voice

in the rustling of the trees.

All those times, I never heard Him Sing.

 

Then, as the years passed

I glimpsed God for an instant-

As my wife’s hand

caressed our little baby girl.

 

Now the house is empty

And my heart is very still;

And God constantly speaks to me.

For I have given up the search:

He is the only one there.
