Where Do I Find God? Poem by Norah Tunney

Where Do I Find God?

Rating: 5.0


I have no religion, no beliefs,
no creeds,
but my heart continually falls to its knees-
endlessly captivated
by the shocking-newness of familiar things-
the shape of a cup,
the smell of coffee,
the exquisite joy of a hot shower,
sometimes it's the innocent beauty
of a wild flower,
this morning it was the breeze dancing through the trees,
last night the coyotes howling at midnight,
little things nearly killing me with delight,
I find God in the bits and pieces
that make up a life.

I do feel a higher power that stirs and connects us. I see it in the beauty of the simplest thing such as the lovely flower that accompanies your poem and in seriously profound emotional situations of life and death in nursing. Things that capture all the senses makes one feel so alive. A lovely poem.

Yes Simone I find it with the dying also. A profound sense of mystery
