And it's not mine, this is Rilke, a truly great poet from the turn of the century. He wrote in German, and he translates so beautifully I can only imagine how sublime the original must be.

I find you, Lord,
in all things and in all
my fellow creatures,
pulsing with your life;
as a tiny seed
you sleep in what is small
and in the vast
you vastly yield yourself.

The wonderous game
your power plays with Things
is to move in such submission through the world:
groping in roots
growing thick in trunks
and in treetops like
a rising from the dead.
