Searching God In Time And Space Poem by Richmon Rey Jundis

In the dark valleys of time I roam
Looking for the divine light that shone
Who created me and all the others
Who communicates and intervenes,
Who rewards and corrects.

Does he transcend the limits of my time
Immutable and everlasting, like a sublime
Or does participate in the course of my life
Mutable and temporal,
Like a these pinkish roses surrounding me?

The flowers near me wither and perish
They remind me that nothing is permanent,
Not even this sadness
But how can he make me at this moment
If he is absent in this space.

I wonder if he is aware
Of my happiness and sorrow
If he empathizes with my aspirations and anxieties,
My wins and losses
Or is he apathetic to my destiny
Indifferent and stoic, like a sentry.

I desire to know him
As He really is
Not as I fantasize or hope.
But, how can I discover Him
In this chaotic and puzzling labyrinth
If He is concealed from my sight?

I hope that he will manifest Himself to me
That He will show His love and compassion
That He will lead me to his reality and kindness
That He will encounter me in this temporality.
