Simply Awesome!

a poem by Sheela K . Sharath

LORD … I know you are there.
I sense your presence,
you are in the air I breathe,
you are in the fragrance
of the flowers that I pick
from the garden,
you are in the fruits that
I pluck from the orchard.
You are in the laughter of the
innocent children as they
play in the park,
you are in the stars that
shine in the night sky
after dark,
you are in the bird that
flies in the open blue sky,
you are in the wild animal
that stalks its prey in the
thick of the jungle.
You are in the spark that
ignites flames,
you are in the snow that
melts to water and forms
that mighty waterfall.
You are all
encompassing,
omnipresent,
eternal and ethereal,
a subliminal mystery and
I,
a mere mortal
prostrate before your
immense totality
aware of my
minuteness
in the cosmic power
of your creation.
How simply awesome!
