When in touch with my soul

Not far, but when in touch I’m with the soul,  
Should my inner vision slowly arise,
I see God in souls struggling to rise, 
I see the same soul animating all—
In trees forlorn and lost as in desert, 
In mother's selfless love do I see him, 
In dreams she dreams and struggles to redeem, 
I see Him in mind's mirror cleansed of dirt, 
And in humanity’s selfless judgment, 
In a poor man's precious last piece of bread  
That he feeds a hungry dog, heart and head, 
In every life from ant to elephant, 
In thorns I see Him as much as in rose, 
In friends, feel-hearts much as aliens and foes.
