I've no need to seek divine deity. Seeing a glorious sunrise spread its light, I bow in awe at this amazing feat ----- A solitary star vanquished the night. O, the majesty of Nature's might!
And as the moon dims his silvery torch, Feathered minstrels open sleepy eyes; What choristers could sing a sweeter song? (To mention angel choirs would be unwise --- Never have their voices filled the skies)
Rainbow-hued flowers, their heads bending low To the gentle stroking of a breeze, Fill the air with a hypnotic scent And the humming of delighted bees . . . It is to such things I bend my knees
Then upward my eyes are suddenly drawn To vaporous clouds drifting lazily, And I ponder that enigmatic realm, Hesitant to unfold its mystery. (Could this be God's true identity?)
Crickets chirping, wolves baying at the moon, From the pond, a frog croaks his opinion; The ocean's roar, the Autumn woods ablaze --- And over it all we have dominion. And yet . . . I feel I'm Nature's minion
But if an elusive God is your choice, I look upon you with pitying eyes; Marvels surround you, and yet you still seek That obscure and silent, unresponsive prize . . . An unseen God that common sense denies!
