:::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 By David Kavanagh

I understand what you’re saying Christopher, I keep asking and searching, any order will do so long as I get some answers

Absolutely love this David Sir The reason because like the Morecambe & Wise Previn sketch You are asking all the right questions just in the wrong order it you know what I mean

Again neither am I but like you If they do exist Where are they and why are they hiding Because I selfishly more than anyone else Could do with and am in need of god help But like you said where is god

I’m not saying gods don’t exist Christopher just that I don’t understand where they are, if they do, no more than I can scientifically understand eternity, yet here we all are nonetheless, ah intelligence again, cheers David

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

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. Tom

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

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.

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

David, you have written some exceptionally thought-provoking lines. I enjoyed reading your poem, and wish you the best in the contest.

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
