Finding God

God
I woke up this morning and realized
That yours is the face I've been looking for

All this time
All this searching
And you were right here
All along

I thought I'd find it in the face of other
In place
In purpose
In meaning

I kept looking
Without seeing
Hearing
Without listening
Doing
Without feeling

While all this time
You were waiting
Waiting patiently
To enter my heart

It takes no effort
But simply to ask
Just ask
And you are here
Inside me

As my heart spills open
I feel you pouring in
Blissful fullness
Needing nothing
Embracing everything
In love
With life
In love
With you
In love
With me

In love
As love
With love

I love you
I love myself
I love myself
I love you

Amen
