Book 12 Page33

O where O where is God

A shout goes out from seemingly one end of the universe,

“O god! O God! where are thee?”

And God shouts back,
“Here I am! I’m over here!”

God shout goes out from seemingly one end of the universe.

“O man! O man! where are thee?”

And the human shouts back,
“Here I am” I’m over here O lord!”

But the two never meet.

Not for the sake that the two haven’t made contact,

Or that they cannot hear each other perfectly well.

But for the fact that they just can’t seem to locate,

Where the voice is coming from.
