The Search

The Search I looked for God, but couldn't find him; In the City's busy streets. I heard no sound but roaring engines. Saw no sight but running feet. Turned I then toward the woodland, Where the stately Oak tree grows. I saw His footprint in the meadow, And His blood upon the rose. Paused I there to look and listen, Felt His presence in the rain. On the grass the raindrops glisten, At His command the thunder came. I am here, the Spirit whispers, in a hundred million flowers; God's name is written in the heavens. Evidence of His great power. We have eyes but do not focus; For we have lost the precious key; God is here and all around us. If our eyes would only see.

"Turned I then toward the woodland, Where the stately Oak tree grows. I saw His footprint in the meadow, And His blood upon the rose." - He is everywhere, Wanda, but I too think He is easier to find in nature than in stoplights. Well penned!
