God is in this place and I did not know it

I survey the land and what do I see?
Songs of heaven in the noise of creation.
I see traces in the dust of footsteps.
Are they the feet of men or angels or miracles?
God is in this place and I did not know it.

I sail across the ocean with the breeze in my face.
A heavenly dove flies by with wings of grace.
The secrets of the world unfold before my eyes.
I am seized by awe and wonder as the new day shines.
God is in this place and I did not know it.

I try to look at the rising sun.
I feel captured by its rays and ruined by its light.
All creation is heaven in disguise.
I wait in silence as I hear the whispers of angels gone by.
God is in this place and I did not know it.


(inspired by Genesis 28:16)
