Pay Attention

by Amyra

pay attention.
perhaps He's everywhere.
in everything you could possibly think to see.
perhaps the world has been forgotten.
perhaps Christ has been forgotten.
what does it say about us?
if our lives
can be measured and defined
by how many God signs
have eluded our mind.
and how well we have mastered,
becoming humanly blind.
perhaps the trees feel ignored.
and the breeze feels ignored.
and every insect on the trees
those that dance melodically to the heartbeat of the breeze
feels ignored.
perhaps they know the truth
and they'd like for us to see it.
...what if everything were a sign?
how then could you avoid
an everywhere God you try hard not to find.
pay attention.
because maybe the trees and the breeze
and the land and the seas,
perhaps they know better than you and than me.
for they hold God within themselves.
and they know God.
and they see God.
and they show God all the time.
so maybe they know better.
i mean,
what would we discover?
what could we uncover?
if the earth went unignored.
perhaps we'd marvel at what were blind to before:
all creation holding signs that say that God is Lord.
