If...

poetry

If you’re still looking for God

Let met save you some trouble.

You won’t find her

raising her arms on any Sunday morning.

You won’t find him

dancing in the snow of any mountain peak.

You won’t find them

in any recital of words and liturgy.

Let me save you some trouble.

If you’re still looking for God.

This might save you some heartache.

Some things can never be found

because

they would stop existing

if they were.
