Thought
To see Lord sit within is thrill
His penetrating fullness fill
And then to know that all is He
Transcending this discovery.
Children who are taught to pray
Think this Lord is far away
Fingers point to cloudy sky
“They say he’s there, but very shy”
At colleges where chins are stroked
Debates, discussions are provoked
Students agree - consenting nod
Impossible whereabouts of god
Playful Lord of hide and seek
Asks “Where am I? You cannot peek
In all live I as inner guide
You can’t see from the outside”
You failed to grasp me like the air
But that’s because I’m everywhere
Don’t put me in a fixed domain
For upon myself I play this game”
Prayer
My pure delight O Lord is to catch the at thy play. In moments of doubt when my attention wanders, let me always see thy face in and through and as and beyond.
