I sought You in the silence, where stillness quakes the soul
Where doubts arise in violence, where thoughts the mind cajole
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But even in the quiet, You sat along with me
I sought You in the heavens, where stars our thirst ignite
Though winking giggles leaven the gravity of night
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But You were winking with them and smiling at me
I sought You in the river, that ever-changing flow
That silver-loving sliver, where golden flakes aglow
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But even in the riches, You reached to be with me
I sought You in the forests, where mazes blur the mind
Where cunning toxic florists, could even charm the blind
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But even in the toxins, You found some health for me
I sought you in the music, where tremb’ling notes despair
Their broken hearts so fearful that life plays out unfair
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But even in the heartbreak, You cried along with me
I sought you in the science, where atoms swarm with life
Where logical defiance aborts belief with strife
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But even in the logic, You kindled faith in me
I sought You in the soil, dead, veiled by a stone
That good will never spoil, That sin will never clone
I thought it was unlikely, that there you’d surely be
But even in that void…
You came and You held me
