Searching
Searching
In the night when one’s chest is cold and tight
is there a Creator, an architect of kindness
somewhere scattered in the universal starlight
for mankind’s goodness is as scarce as gold dust
and this Divine light sought as needed and blessed
seems a mystery sporadically warm and generous
even through cold fear when we breathe deeply
we whisper for the Divine with a heart then warms
and there is a feeling that something is near
we know not from where this warmth comes
in our wishes, in our dreams or
in a well designed mind to comfort one
so we can continue a bit longer and survive
we listen in hope for a Force which more than gazes
at all the suffering of beings through eternity
but bestows in splendor the spirit of life
and gives the necessity and freedom of death gently
