On this old adage, let's ponder 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' So when we feel from God distance Know He’s within and not yonder We look to God for assistance But ego offers resistance So we feel separate from source Not quite aligned with existence When we feel stirrings of remorse For our wayward thoughts and deeds coarse Tremulous heart for God's grace pines 'Tis then soul and darkness divorce When head and heart with love aligns We play our role as God assigns Fears and desires in time recede His light within finally shines Love and light as our sturdy steed All we do is follow it's lead Boundaries blur, nodes within stir We become God’s light, as decreed 09-February-2023

So beautifully written ! Even when we feel that God stays distant, in reality He is within us. This is such a consoling thought. You have done full justice to the adage you have chosen. A great entry ! All the Best, Seeker friend !

Thank you, Valsa. This is not for the proverb contest though, which requires rhyme form
