They Asked if There was a God
Roy Charles Henry (b. 1938)
They asked if there was a god.
And there came no answer.
And the sunrise exploded softly across the morning sky.
“If there is a god, what is he like,” they asked?
And there came no answer.
And the cool evening breeze
choreographed the sweet dance of pastel-colored flowers.
“If there is a god,” they asked, “who am I?”
And there came no answer.
And the dancing mother swept up her laughing child
In a soft, warm embrace.
“If there is a god, why am I here?” they asked.
And there came no answer.
