Where art thou

I look up at the sky and I,
I wonder why.

I do not ask why thou hath forsaken us, your people.
I do not ask how You can do all the bad things you've done.

I simply wonder, are you up there?

I look up at the sky and I,
I try not to cry.

I want to be with you, wherever that may be.
No, not in heaven. I may not go to heaven, but I want to be near you.

Is that you, in that hole between the clouds where the sun dares to shine?
Or is that you, in the particles of dust dancing in the glow of the street light?

What do you look like,
and would I recognize you if I could see you?

I look up at the sky and I,
I simply try.

I really do.

Only you will ever know the secrets of my heart and the thoughts in my head.

You will never forsake me.
You will never betray me.
For your are my rock and my redeemer.

You give and you take,
but always, you watch over me.

I look up at the sky and I,
here I lie.

Wondering, wondering if you are listening.
