Looking For God - An Original Poem
I looked at my mother in the eyes
While working on our tiny orchard
And asked, "where does God live?"
And went back to her work.
So, I started looking for God in the sky.
I wanted to see the white-bearded man
Who, Mama said, created man and the beasts.
I would stare at the sky
Looking for God,
The big man that sits on the fence of no where.
With millions of dancing stars
That escorts travelling dark clouds to nowhere.
But God was not there.
Where I saw the congregation of the saints
Whose heads dance to the tune of the piano
But God was not in the temple.
And saw how the waves of the sea ran back and forth
Like goalkeeper in the face of goal.
There, I saw smiling little children
Building houses in the sand.
The innocence on their faces
And the love in their hearts
And I saw God in their midst
For God is love.

I am @gandhibaba, the young man who goes about carrying his magical pen, not his gun, in his pockets.
