'A Search' - poem

We have all read the English proverb 'Seeing is Believing'. But we do not apply this in case of God. Probably because we have our tasks or list of wishes that can be fulfilled by God only. At the same time it is not wholly true that we are being selfish all this while believing in something we cannot even observe. This is so because although we cannot see God in concrete form but we can still feel His Presence around us, especially when we need help the most and all the earthly aids have failed. It is then that we realize that we have someone who takes care of us, and doesn't make us feel so isolated and dejected after all. 

I would like to share one of my poems with my readers. I penned down this poem way back in 2001.

When there was darkness all around
When the black sky did surround
When every hope of light was drowned
Where were you all the time?
When nobody was there to lend a shoulder
When tears too did smoulder
When no one was to be the candle-holder
Where were you all the time?
When by words was the heart broken
When nobody else could offer a love token
When all made me lonely and forsaken
Where were you all the time?
Probably You were within me
Guiding and protecting me
Through the tough times You carried me
That no one else could have done for me.
