Moonrise Over The City

Are you there, God?
It’s me, Courtney 

I’ve met you infinite times 
With infinite faces 

A man, a woman 
A mountain, a tree 

I’ve even seen you in the mirror 
Looking back at me 
Through my own eyes 

Now I see you in the city 

Can you imagine that?! 
Me, who thought society was the devil
Condemned the creations of man
Only saw your face in nature 

Now I look over the city 

4 million people
Bustling around busy 
Creating, sustaining, destroying 
Each in their own way 

I see your face in the skyscrapers
In that golden one that looks like a temple 

In the lost people 
Who stop on our street to take pictures
I see them looking for you 
Your signature 
In each of your creations 

In the challenges you create for me
I see you there too 

And all I can say is 
Thank you 

Thank you for revealing 
Yourself to me again 

Thank you for hiding 
So I can find you 
In infinite ways 

And look! 
Sometimes it’s you 
That finds me

I will never tire of the way we play 
My favorite game 

Hide and go seek with God
