Searching

I make my way into the forest to find You
Behind all crevices and up into the trees
I'm searching for You, I know You're here.
Maybe within the rustling of the leaves
Or inside of this cave
I'll hear you speak to me loud and clear.
...Just blow the trumpets
Shout in my ear!
Wave a red flag in my face
Do what it takes because sometimes I'm blind
And I don't listen very well.
Send me the smallest love letter in the shape of a star,
Blaze it across the night sky and illuminate my heart.
The radiance would have to be concealed with a veil
Like Moses wore after he caught a glimpse of Your glory.
Then, as I stop and stand still
I listen to Your creation buzzing and spinning around me
And am satisfied whether I see You or not
Because I know You love me.
