I came looking for God's face
and missed
sunlight's dappled path across the lake
rippling dark water
autumn's palate ablaze all around
I came listening for God's voice
and missed
wild honking of glorious gray geese
splash of wing on water
wind singing through brilliant leaves
I came yearning to feel God's presence
and missed
warm sun on my cheek
earth solid beneath my feet
breath... and breath...and breath again
I came searching for One Mighty Miracle
and in my frantic quest
missed ONE THOUSAND!
