God's Gaze

Looking up at a lonely cloud,
An image was soon shaped.
I wanted to identify it out loud,
But found my mouth was gently taped.

I saw God�s eye staring in my soul,
And this eye seemed soaked in despair.
My mind was like a thoughtless hole,
With not even a word to spare.

So I lay against the warm grass,
And try to picture his entire face.
But that luminous eye I couldn�t pass,
My vision blocked by divine grace.

He seemed to cry out to me
As I wept for this lonely eye.
I would be lying so bitterly,
If I said in vain I didn�t cry.

I cried and cried at this beautiful sight,
And wondered why he was in grief.
Then I understood in a sudden fright,
That this world is like a fallen leaf.

We�ve forgotten his heavenly touch,
That�s kept our hopes afloat.
Missing his warmth not quite enough,
We drown in our own murky moat.
