Everywhere We Turn

His scent is in a flower
  I sense Him in the dale
He powers up volcanoes
  His breath fills up ships' sails

I walk with Him quite easily
  I invite Him in my door
He hesitates, all humble dignity
  His fearsomeness no more

The Lord God Almighty
  Grants us naught but time
To seek Him everywhere we turn
  To feel Life's rhythm and rhyme

It is enough to look around us to see and feel some of his power, Gershon. Your poem is a sweet reminder to those who fail to notice his presence. Regards // paul
