AND GOD HIDES HIMSESF IN LITTLE THINGS

AND GOD HIDES HIMSESF IN LITTLE THINGS

A Poem by Rose of many colours
"

a maiden had a visit from an admirer, he spoke words of wisdom, she lives alone,her home is under a mango tree

"

A renowned old admirer,

Sought a beautiful young maiden hidden in rags,

Tis her tilted house faced toward the mire-

And a stew brewing on the fire,

Thus the old admirer’s mouth spilled words of wisdom.

The young maiden just contented to hear;

What beholds her future so dear?

So the old admirer armoured her imagination with,

The possession of others: the world of glitz.

Her dribbling mind he lassoed to reality.

 He made her aware of her modest home, and plain attire.

Thus, these parting words; old Scottie spoke,

The oracles of God: her wretched heart he evokes;

“And God Hides Himself In Little Things.”

A interesting poem. I like poetry that create thoughts to ponder. This poem did. The young girl had little but sometime wealth and glitz is over-rated. I did like the lines.
“And God Hides Himself In Little Things.”
I do believe we can find beauty and wisdom is secret and unknown places. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
