The hunt

The Hunt

Look into the sky
and travel o’er the seas
Search among the plains
or climb the mountains
Yet as close as my own heart
is where I may find God.

Search throughout the cities
and travel every path
Look in every farmstead
or wander all the world
Yet as close as my own heart
is where I may find God.

A heartbeat in the womb
and a glance across the room
a drop within the ocean
and a breath inside the lung
This - as close as these things -
is where I have found God.
