Perspective 14

a blanket of snow 
sweeps across a field of sky

a lake ripples 
from feet-less fish, 
diving ducks,
and a gentle wind 
gone unnoticed,
until it calls 
to feel Itself again

God, 
you're here,
I just didn't notice

a bird’s reflection glides beneath
the liquid cloth, 
swathed in silken draperies

thoughts climb Jacob’s Ladder
only to meet 
a disappearance 
into Heaven's
Everywhere-ness

I believed I was here,
but here keeps changing,
staying put
as an endless thought 
of Unknowing

God, 
I'm here,
I just didn't notice
