Question: Wherefore Art Thou, God? Answer: I Am Who I Am

God knows
In a game of hide and seek
The best place to hide everything
Is right in front of your nose
So, you’ll never believe what I just saw
Because you can’t believe your own eyes
But believe it or not
Everything is in its right place
Hidden in plain sight
Until the time is right
And the game is over
When all shall be revealed
And the surprise ending
Is that there are no surprises–
We all saw this coming
Because it was already here
The whole time
