God Is Our Peace Poem by Astell Collins

I sought God and found myself
For I am in Him as He is in me
This is neither religion nor theology
But the essence of spirituality
Humanity has lost its way
But He remains the potter as we are the clay
Life has deceived us into making a living
When love is all about giving
Time though infinite
Misrepresents the purpose of the fight
We battle for the greater good that is in mankind
Not for the place of power to treat each other unkind
There is a presence that envelops us with peace
And the same accepts us in spite of that unholy piece
We are lost but loved
We are disconnected yet cared for
He shouted and has whispered
Call on me whenever you feel separated
From the peace that I am
