Finding God

FINDING   GOD   


Like naughty kids return to mother’s love  -
One moment without it they are in desperate sway;
Like divers finding air is good to breathe above  -
If we forget, it doesn’t mean it goes away.

In our soul’s darkness we seek something
Which already surrounds, is always rock steady.
God is everywhere, permeates our being -
How could God not be here already?

We seek not God, but the way out of our darkness 
To find again that God is loving kindness.
