This fall I went on retreat with poet Malcolm Guite and created this one afternoon. I had not written a poem in a long time.

Finding God in All

Distracted by beauty, seeing God in all things

Holiness whispering at every moment

Longing for attention, unfurling gentle wings

Snowflake kissing my cheek

Jolting me awake to the Presence

As only a Lover can, leaving knees weak

The kingdom of God near, here

Held unknowingly, grasp relentless

This earth only a tiny mirror

Generating joy in a hide-and seek game

Divining the Divine in cosmic wonder

Released from bindings of anger and shame

God in the spring and light;

God in the desert and dark

God in a never-ending glorious flight.
