Paul Schneiter Poet Rhyme

Deity's Hand

Sometimes, earth and sea and sky
Act in concert and entreat me.
It’s as if they inquire with a sigh
How can you doubt what you see?

There is design in flower blossoms
In butterfly wings, and a bee’s flight.
I am driven to call them awesome
Why against God do I deign to fight?

The question catches in my brain
And summons age-honed doubts.
Life’s unfairness cuts cross the grain,
Leading me to ponder other routes.

But alternate answers fail to compete
With the majesty that encloses me.
It matters not where I wish to seek
Deity’s hand has dressed every tree.

Robert Lindley May 3, 2015 at 8:02 PM A solid 7 on this fine poem. Ending stanza was indeed the icing on the cake. Adding this to my fav list for that alone my friend . The rest of the poem was superb as well!
