who is this god?

who is this god?
waiting in the corridors of our lives...
patiently.
silently.
unseen and unknown.
absorbed into the smog of greed surrounding our lives,
blinding hearts and deafening souls.

children wait for their bodies to evaporate:
hungry and sick.
women silently curl up in corners:
beaten and afraid.
men with masks of bravery line up for war against forgotten brothers:
hardened and alone.
Creation gasps for life through lungs and fins and brown branches:
scorched and pillaged.

is this who you are?
the One who sees?
that source which knows...
where we have come from and where we will go.
resting with us in the in between.
guiding us toward a beginning.
patiently.
silently.
unseen and unknown.
