In Search Of God

I went to temple, God wasn't there,

there was only a stone statue standing,

I bowed to it and came back.

I went to the mosque, He wasn't there as well,

there lying was some sacred soul in deep sleep,

I didn't feel like to disturb and came back.

I went to gurdwara, didn't saw Him there too,

there was kept a covered holy book in the middle,

I sat there for a while and came back.

I went to the church, God wasn't there again,

Christ's statue I saw having both eyes closed,

I lit a candle and came back.

I looked up at the sky and prayed,

that God please show me where you are?

the dark clouds poured some drops on me.

I sat under a tree to get shelter,

and waited for the rain to stop.

the tree didn't even hesitate to get me in.

The rain soon stopped and I got up,

to continue my journey in search of God.

as I started to walk the tree waved me.

Soon I began to think about quiting,

but somewhere deep inside me,

a voice called me up to don't lose hope.

I again started to walk with no clear path,

mountains, forests, deserts and oceans,

nothing left to be visited on the planet.

Then I looked inside me again,

to find where the voice came from earlier,

I realized I was carrying my destination with me.

The journey ended where it had begun from.
