Ricardo Antonio Garcia

Every leaf that falls and every drop of rain

God speaks to us all is a very specific way.

Symbols and sounds

all have their doorways to our minds, and I

stand in the arch of angelic Light

permeating sight and sound into visions.

God is more than part of Man

for His essence

are all the things around us and above us.

To feel His language amidst

the words that I write or become vocalized

is a divine honor bestowed, for I

am living in the kaleidoscope of His Light.

Every whirl of a running stream

blocked by a stone rings in my ears as a song

and He is whispering

some things unclear that I may never know.

His power and majesty

reflects in the words I convey.

Every cloud that murmurs behind another

jostles for the rain or haling thunder

and my face is held in its miraculous fall

though hale of God is warm

speckling against my skin they melt.

I would lay on the Cross in His name

for I dearly love Him so.

I would cleanse His feet and kiss them

as is the eternal song wavering.

Every day that transforms into night

I know without a doubt that He exists in me.

I know that he lives in all of us

though some shall never see or hear from Him.

His divinity and Light

transpond across the entire Universe.

Every one of you who has asked me if I 'Believe'

I would say unto you my clarifications.

Listen to the rainfall

- what is God saying to you?

Listen to someone’s Joy and heart for you

-what is He saying?

Your heart

should be breaking for the Love of God

and in this solemn pain

He will sweep his powerful hand into your own.

Listen to the river run

- what is God translating to you?

Listen as tears quietly fall

-why is God trying to comfort you?

Your heart

should be aching for the Love of God.
