He is in us

June 7, 2013
By Anonymous

We search for “him”,

looking here and there


We try to find him in the deepest corners,

or in the air.


We look for him,

In our books or bibles


We yearn for him,

that we look for him in the unreliable


Men that teach”his word”.


We search for him,

In science and history texts


We look up for him,

and study the skies.


But where we don't look,

is in ourselves,


For thats where he lies.

I was inspired to show how we look for god in an outside source from the sufi poems of Rumi. I wanted to show all the ways people of the world search for god or trust others to "know" god when god is in themselves.
