How
do I know God?
In
my heart I know God,
A
sure and unshakeable belief,
Not
shaped by learned erudition
Or
habit forming ritual.
In
my sure hearts light,
Conviction
unshaped by fear,
A
knowing presence,
A
perfect all sustaining light.
Light
is spirit wherever seen,
Whether
in Sun drenched room.
All
embracing light of day,
Softened
by natures play.
God
speaks to my heart,
Through
life itself,
Trees,
flowers and meadow,
Every
tuneful summer harmony.
Souls,
arbiters of God’s presence
Wrapped
in clods of clay.
Their
beauty none the less seen,
Though
body wracked in pain
God
is in the light,
Light
of each heart and eye.
Though
truth be crucified
Crumpled
and folded with age
Until
the eyes shutters close
And
heaviness laid to rest
And
the light dances free
Laughter
on Summers breeze
The
Self same light
As
music and truth
Timeless
beauty and compassion
Light
stepping, ever free.
