God

I try to know you. But my job is to just believe. The more I try to unravel you, the farther I feel from you. The farther I feel from you, the farther I feel from me. You are even when you're not. To believe in you is to believe in me. You are my faith. My faith is you. You are in me. I am in you. 

To love you, I have to love me and mine. I feel you in everything I feel. And isn't that the only way to know you? 

I kept looking for you in idols of clay and temples of stone. But I found you in fleeting moments. 

I tried to listen for you in chiming bells. But I heard you in my child's giggle. 

I wanted to talk to you via chants and prayers. I finally spoke to you via introspection. 

I wanted to understand you through science or religion. But I could only reach you through humanity.
