Where There Is Life, There Is God Poem by Walterrean Salley

Where There Is Life, There Is God

Rating: 5.0


God is in the sun
At the dawning of daylight.
God is in the stars,
And the moon at night.

God is in the flowers,
And the precious little dove.
And He is in the rainbow
That dazzles above.

God is in the elephant
And the tiny ant.
He is in the hyacinth
And every living plant.

God is in the trees
And the fishes of the sea.
And He is in the heart
Of you and me.

Whether man, or beast,
Or fowl, or cod—
Wherever there's life,
There is God.

God is everywhere, until we find the truth. We used to believe our Gods stay in Himalayas and many of our sages tortured themselves to withstand the cold to reach our Gods, deep in Himalayas.! other religions also tell similar stories! interesting poem!

This is so true, the soft mind that penetrate the deeper knowledge and thoughts is always create a real and hidden measure, like a transition of facts in every single thing...Everywhere we go we see He around, His creation to tell that remind Him always please :) , if we look if we understand each creation tell a lesson and a lesson could be only a life that we can see and touch but not more if we never understand behind the creation or not aware of His presence_Unwritten Soul

Consciousness of God's presence in even the most humble creation, is a very rare but laudable thing. I liked the poem for its simplicity and its deep message.

There is no day nor night, nor form nor colour, and never anything that's not God's handiwork! A beautifully simple poem and this deserves a 10

A beautiful, and simple poem about the Divine manifestation even in small things of Nature and life; about One Who never leaves us in distress, Who is so close that we have to close our eyes to dare to see any flame of His glory...The concept of LIFE in this poem needs to be understood...

The concept of God is thought over for the ages but how magnificently you are showing the presence of god in you and me and the things around us. Good flow of thoughts and feelings.
