A Sense of God

It comes with the Light, 
driving darkness to dust,
breathing life into death, 
freeing all touched softly.

There is a special way of seeing, 
of seeing without your eyes--
there is a special way of hearing,
a way of hearing beyond human ears--
and a way of smelling a rose 
before its seed is in the earth-- 
and a way, a miraculous way, 
of touching a beating heart 
with unseen hands....

It took no more 
than one drop 
of His blood 
to save a world 
lost in fear...  
lost in madness....

When I went far offshore fishing, I "sensed" God's presence. It wasn't the fish, sunshine or even the sea, just an overwhelming feeling of being "one" with him. And surely I agree with your last stanza. Very nicely penned, L.J.

Thanks Carolyn-- and yes, every so often some of us are fortunate enough to get that transcendent feeling-- I only wish it weren't so rare....
