:::Gods Do Not Hide:::

Gods don’t hide, so where can they dwell 
    Yonder, out of sight, down the wishing well 
   In deep ridges of our brains, under fontanels 
  The search delves inward, to nuclei within cells 

      Gods don’t hide, they’re ethereally clear 
    Invisible to the eye, yet whisper in our ear
   Can’t be sure, if that’s a conscience we hear
  Inner voices are important, helps to calm fear 

     Gods don’t hide, remain loved and unseen 
    In a temple behind, the frankincense screen
   On bloody battlefields, we pray they intervene 
  Fighting the good fight, with guns and figurines 

     No Gods don’t hide, but what would I know 
    An agnostic won’t help, ease your life’s woe’s 
   My deliverance may come, if randomness goes 
  I’m ignorant on the fence, observing voids grow


                   Life has many mysteries 
                 mankind makes tough calls 
               This mind failing to penetrate 
             let alone crack omnipotent walls

Bill Baker Date: 8/31/2022 4:07:00 PM Enjoyed the read, David. Well written and thought provoking. That's how I like it! Have a great week my friend, Bill Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 9/1/2022 12:49:00 AM Thank you Bill, I just write from my own pov, which may seem bleak at times, I really know nothing for sure, so I cannot and do not dismiss what others believe, hope you have a good weekend too, cheers David

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/28/2022 4:50:00 AM They say one day the great mysteries will be revealed to us whether scientific or spiritual, but nobody can lay claim to either theory.. Always found it interesting that Darwin and Hawkins when stumped for answers always put it down to the miraculous. Greetings from Majorca, hope alls well in Soup Creek.

David Kavanagh Date: 8/28/2022 6:57:00 AM Lucky you Tom, I’ve been out the west of Ireland for a few days, weather is great, so only popping in and out of soup creek, all seems quite on the surface anyway lol, Whatever brings comfort and solace to one’s life cannot be a bad thing, main thing is not to lose hope, cheers David

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/24/2022 1:34:00 PM I am with you. Gods don't hide. Maybe they are invisible, so they can't really hide. haha. Who the heck knows. I used to be a bit of an agnostic in my youth. Somehow I have ended up believing for sure in the afterlife. I guess it's all those shows I watch on Near Death Experiences, etc. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 8/24/2022 1:57:00 PM I’m pretty convinced Andrea by challenging everything I know, both spiritually and scientifically there is definitely more to reality than life and death, near death experiences are strange in that not everybody that survives gets them, the search goes on, cheers David

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/22/2022 7:14:00 PM David, you have written some exceptionally thought-provoking lines. I enjoyed reading your poem, and wish you the best in the contest. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 8/23/2022 12:39:00 AM Thank you Milton, my poem is purely what this agnostic does or does not see, but people with their own faith, will see things different, and quiet rightly too, as I alluded to in my poem I know nothing, cheers David
