God Within Me

When can I say that my darkness has 
transformed into 
shattered rays of light? 
Do my hands have to paint themselves 
with the iridescent 
colors of the stars? 
Do my eyes need to glow with the warmth of the sun? 
This existence has met me with 
stinging pains, 
suffering that makes me cry out- 
to more than me. 
More than what I could ever be. 
Do you see me? 
I hear you in everything. 
I see you in every atom of your creation. 
Your hands upon this earth have 
imprinted themselves deeper 
than I could ever show. 
All I know is that 
when shadows 
meet light, 
God, I see you. 
The interwoven emotion, 
the hairs standing up on end, 
the surge of love 
flowing through me in a way 
that is uttertly 
indescribable. 
Your prints are branded, 
they lay deep within 
my soul, 
they lay 
deep within 
this empire you have built within me.
