I Believe

As I walk through the clumps of grass
Popping up in the middle of the sand
And I look down on the vast sea in front of me
I know there is a god

I can hear his voice
In the waves
Crashing against the rocks
In the seagulls
Singing his praises
From the sky

Through the subtleties
Of the ocean breeze
I can feel the touch of his hand
Caress my face

I know his heart
Is made of love
I can tell this by the way
The warmth of the sun
Heals my soul

When I see the moon in the sky
And all the stars in heaven
And I think all of this is made
Just for me to see
I know there is a god

Welcome Back, Hobo

What a beautiful poem. It is very spiritual and uplifting. Great writing, Hobo! (But then I expect nothing less from you! LOL) I was really moved by your poem. It reminded me of one of my favorite sayings. "You see God in everything, or you see Him in nothing." ~I never say anything I don't mean nor do I say anything to be mean.~
