Notes About The Poem

I See You, God

I See You, God


I see you, God...your glory amplifies
     with gifts of life we share beneath our skies;
          when you awakened it with your own breath...
it spread throughout our Universe's depth.

I see you, Universe...God's ordered plan
     is spread beyond the realm of earthly man.
          To think that we as humans are alone,
should surely be a concept long outgrown.

I see you, Stars...with you, our Earth does share
     a form with which most species can compare.
          Within, we are the chemicals of stars...
and so, all life could be the same as ours.

I see you, Cosmos...how can we deny 
     that life exists beyond our earthly sky?
          A speck we are inside our Galaxy...
and barely seen within its endless sea.
            
It spread throughout our Universe's depth,
     when you awakened it with your own breath;
I see you, God...so why should we surmise
     your gift of life's confined beneath Earth's skies?
