Oh Lord - you’re always somewhere
with a message or a sign.
You shine through other beings
mysteriously ~ sublime.
Your breath so softly blowing
re-awakes the sigh in mine.
Your mind through others beaming
shafts of light that pierce through time …
Oh Lord - you’re always somewhere
with a message from the King
You bring the rains from heaven
down to earth to fill the springs.
Your waters gently flowing
quaff the thirst of famishing.
While thoughts from others gleaming
oft’ reflect those gifts you bring!
Oh Lord - you’re always somewhere
with a message when I stray.
You stay quite near beside me
when my heart’s in disarray.
Your touch within me growing
as each angel points the way.
I’d say you’re quite redeeming
but you know that anyway ...

such a graceful, devotional and loving tribute to your Lord ... I love the last line ...
and I am sure He has humour to smile about it, too ...
the highest realization is to see Him in everyone, feel His presence through others, listen to Him through the words spoken by others ... until the "others" are no more "others" but Him ... us ... our own Essential Nature ...
