Who Says He Is Not!

Who says the Creator can be seen only in Temples and Churches, Mosques and Stupas? Who says He cannot be seen where you wish to see Him? He is a reflection of Life! See Him in the Life around you!

Who says He is not!

Who says He can’t be seen!

 

I’ve seen you -

                In the dilapidated hut,

                In the summer’s loo,

Again, in the King’s Palace,

And, in the pleasant breeze.

 

                In the sad cries,

                In the disrespected hearts,

Again, in someone’s rejoices,

And, in the gifted’s celebrations.

 

                In the grief of the old man,

                In the pain of the disease,

Again, in the play of the child,

And, in the freeness of the healthy.

 

                In the deadly desert,

                In the poisoned waters,

Again, in the lush green fields,

And, in the lively rivers.

 

                In the shadow of death,

                In the darkness of disappointment,

Again, I’ve seen you -

                In the Vibrations of Life,

And, I’ve seen you -

                In the Light of Hope!

NOTE: loo in the phrase 'Summer's loo' means the hot, burning, moisture-less air that blows in India during the Summer season.

Meaningful and totally agreeable, indeed. I like the fact that it doesn't contain any sort of mockery or chastisement, but instead delves on pointing out something that most people forget time and time again. You're eloquence in words and sound create a poem so easy to understand and yet with a meaning so deep.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Very sweet and insperational piece! I like that you show that the creator can be seen in the everyday lives of everyone; in the good and the negative parts of life. Also, I love that it started stong and then stayed strong all the way through. It keeps me reading :] gorgeous job!
