The Search
I searched the world hoping to find
A God of my liking-one of my kind
My attitude dampened-my thoughts sublime
I traveled in search of the Eternal Divine.
This conquest of mine-I shall prevail
Said a simple prayer, then set sail.
To sacred places and to all the holy lands,
Read ancient scripts passed thru many hands.
I didnt want to pick any God by choice,
But for that being to speak in His own voice.
My search extended and turned to despair,
I searched China and Egypt-traveled everywhere.
Went to the Himalayas, crossed the river Jordan,
There it was revealed-without clear warning.
I traveled the earth at great sacrifice,
To find God and some external paradise.
To find a Almighty that I could see,
But part of that God was inside me.
