Enigma
Improving a Negative
Enigma
Where did it come from: the dirt, the plants, the trees?
Why does it need to come from anywhere? It just is.
But, you show me creations, and say they don't need a Creator.
I look, feel, and touch that granite wall, and think, "It just is,"
And, it's like I fall back in shock and wonder! How can
Such a thing be? God, is that you? But the mountains, the sky,
The oceans, answer not. Yet, I hear many opposing answers,
And the package is so neatly wrapped. I begin to wonder,
If there is a God, what on earth shall we do with Him?
