My God,
Why do you forsake me?
Why do I not feel your presence in my life?
I used to look on the lake and feel the peace like a river in my soul.
And now all I see is the depth of the water.
It’s higher than it usually is this year.
I hear the birds sing and wonder about climate change.
I feel the air and know it is warmer than it should be.
I want to look with the eyes of a child.
And see the peace.
And feel your presence in the wind.
