Distort

God,
I looked up at the night sky,
and was brought to tears by what I saw.
Not a single star lit the darkened canvas,
and sadness engulfed my soul.
The beauty of your star-filled night,
drowned out by humanities light.
The peace and quiet of flowing water,
replaced by the whizzing by of driven car.
Breath-taking sunsets, which ease the soul,
ruined by electrice and telephone poles.

Lord,
Humanity tries to get in the way,
to distort the beauty of the creation,
which calls out your name.
Help me to see past the distractions we creat,
and find a special quiet place.
here I can seek after you with my heart and soul
and draw close to your presence,
which my heart longs for.
