Are You There?

Are You There? 

If I reach my fingers up to the sky can I touch you?

If I lift up my face will I feel your glory wash over me?

If I open my eyes wide like two wondrous pools of hope

Will I see you?

If I open my hands like expanses of land will I feel your touch?

I tilt my head back and I’m bathed in sunshine, pouring over my face like a child pours water from a bucket

I sense you are near

I feel your presence 

It’s like I feel your spirit enveloping all of my body

A reassuring hug 

Yes if I reach my fingers up to the sky I know you are there.
