The Living God Hides

on the wind through the window
past colorful curtains-

on my shelf-
on my walls-

on the stove
in the steamy whistle
of tea and
in my favorite cup-

in the oven
beside baking banana bread-

in the freezer next to
frozen grapes-

in the medicine cabinet
behind my mirror-

in my bed-

on the roof-

in my hammock
over the yard-

in my car
stereo-

on my computer-

on my blog
online-

in all my places
of pride
of shame

The Living God hides
simple surprises
good gifts of
comfort and love

In all places
The Living God hides
