Within You

As I walked along in search of the sun

I encountered many beautiful faces speaking many beautiful languages

Falling ever in love with horizons far beyond; footsteps lost in the poetry of where He had gone

Then unto me came the smile of a sunflower with darkness in its eyes

Why I am not waiting to see if and when will the stars align

Why I am not cursing from dusk till dawn

Because even in the absolute pitch of night I can feel Him

Dispreading my eyelids like petals that have sworn He’s abandoned

I do not know why so many continue staring out in vain

When God is right there within...
