The Other Side ( Of God )

I am in the ether ; and the clouds;
The air you breathe today .
I may not be too visible ,
But I am not far away.

Whenever beauty strikes you
In birdsong , flowers or sun
Just know that I am in them
Speaking to you through each one .

And then when you look upwards
Clouds always play around the Sun
God’s painting on our canvas
For each and every one .

Deep in the dark night’s sorrow
The travail , and pain and tears
I’ll sit and hold your hand there
Wiping away all the tears.

You may know me as a person
But I AM the living God of all days
Immutable in my presence –
And myriad in my ways .
