The Presence of the Presence . . .


 

 
Silent steps
By
Rabindranath Tagore


Have you not heard God’s silent steps?
God comes, comes, ever comes.


Every moment and every age,
Every day and every night
God comes, comes, ever comes.


Many a song I sung in many a mood of mind,
but all their notes have always proclaimed,
‘God comes, comes, ever comes.’


In the fragrant days of sunny
                       April through the forest path                          
God comes, comes, ever comes.

In the rainy gloom of July nights on the
thundering chariot of clouds
God comes, comes, ever comes.


In sorrow after sorrow
it is God’s steps that press upon my heart,
and it is the golden touch of God’s feet
that makes my joy to shine.
