In Search of God
If God exists he is somewhere out there
We cannot see so we know not where
On this very day I will launch my search
Without blessing or support from man’s ill crafted church
The journey begins as my mind takes flight
Through the blue honed sky into the deepest night
I soar upward and upward toward star filled skies
Passing the moon and breaking all earthly ties
Soaring as a comet my speed ever increasing
I move freely into the heavens my desire unceasing
No wind to slow me, no obstacles in my path
I move further and further never fearing God’s wrath
Staring upward I search for a bright star to guide me
But they all beckon as waves in a never ending sea
The wonders that surround me are a joy to behold
Silver mist, blue hazes and sparkling gold
I look left I look right expecting some sign
But none comes and my hopes slowly decline
If this truly be the heavens why does God not appear?
I scream out his name in hopes he might hear
Deadly silence is my answer as I probe ever deeper
Passing galaxies of stars with gas clouds ever steeper
Far ahead I see a beautiful crystal blue light
Its magnificence radiates outward a most heavenly sight
I draw nearer and nearer my heart quickens and races
Its doors open wide and I believe I can see angelic faces
But as quickly as the doors opened they slowly recede
The glow fades and I am alone as I beg and I plead
My eyes open wide and I find I am alone in my room
I struggle to comprehend why I have returned to this tomb
Could it be that I was unworthy and was cast back to this earth?
Or is God’s kingdom only a dream that man has nurtured from birth?
