God and HUMANITY: Existence

God is here among, within, and with us,
But how, you say?  I cannot see His face,
With clos-ed mind, you won’t, so let’s discuss,
And view some simple ways He splays His Grace.

The silence of a morning mountain lake,
Reflecting snowy peaks and spotless skies,
The chickadee that chirps at first daybreak,
Whose tune was waked by warmth of yon sunrise,

Communes in this grand sym-pho-ny of life,
The seeds of which rest gently in her nest.
From dust, they rose; amid this forest strife,
And by His plan, in dust they’ll later rest,

From ash to life, what wondrous feat is this?
How could it be, without God’s inf’nite kiss?
