on finding god

they say he can be found anywhere,
everywhere

i look and
i see one girl tell another she’s beautiful
i see a man wait the extra awkward second to hold open the gas station door

i see people whose eyes light up with a song written by other people and i see a brother grilling mushrooms for his vegetarian sister and i see a group of friends laying on a trampoline talking about fireworks and kissing and finding god.

i haven’t found him but
i’ve found people performing miracles

anywhere,

everywhere
