The Nearness of God 

See how the breeze moves through 

Every blossom and leaf. 

See how the sounds of each bird 

And insect wing sings 

In our very heart’s core. 

Under a dome of rock in a sea cave. 

Listen to the ocean roar  

Hear the whales sing through green 

Halls shot with sunlight. 

God’s majesty in all. 

--Barbara Spring
