Theophanies(Divine Appearances) Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

I see God in the clouds
that seed rain to water the fields.
I see God in the sky
that blankets humans
from the searing heat of the sun.
I see God in the blooming flowers
bursting with fragrance and elegance.

I see God in the newborn child
conceived by love between man and woman.
I see God in seas, lakes and rivers
that host life to feed mankind.
I see God in human hands
extended to help those
who are victims in our time.

I see God in each person or peoples
convinced how they did wrong.
I see God in hearts that cry
confronted with forgiveness,
acceptance and in life, a new chance.
I see God in the voices of
those who choose to work
for peace, justice and love.
