While My Eyes Were Watching God

While my eyes were watching God,
All hell was breaking loose,
Refusing to be contained,
Overpowering emotion
Until nothing remained,
Not even the notion.
While my eyes were watching God,
I was blindsided by reality,
Subjected to the formality
Of the faithless,
Leaning on my faith less and less.
