Here I Am

(On Romans 1:20)

Nature is my emissary:
Stop denying me.
You search for me there
On someone’s shelf,
In painting, film or poem,
In the mind of someone else.
Seek me here, where I am found,
Calling to you from the ground,
Whispering encouragement
In gentle breezes all around,
Driftng through the sky as clouds,
Racing through rivers
And running in streams,
Staring from stars,
Your yearning in dreams,
I am with you where you are-
Reach for me.
