Waiting for God

I lost my way
And, perplexed,
I tired to retrace my steps
Only to find that they were gone
With no trace of where they'd been,
Or where they were going.
Erased from time
Past, present, and future.
I stared,
My eyes transfixed
To a blank canvas,
And tried to determine
Where they should be.
I screamed and wept,
As the knowledge was no forthcoming,
Out my displeasure
To the ruined land.
I dug bloody furrows in the earth
Hunting for where my footprints had been buried.
Utterly lost,
A universe misplaced in an atom.
I took a deep breath
And stepped outside myself
Once and again
Until my internal self matched my external state,
And then,
I knew where I was.
