I Tried

I tried to touch the morning mist To hold it in my hand But through my fingers then it slipped Like grains of golden sand. I tried to reach the rainbow curved Across the azure sky Too far, too far beyond my grasp Too high, too high, too high. And then to see the smallest star Full hidden in the night My eyes could not yet capture this So clouded was my sight. I tried to hear the voice of God To hear it in my mind Then feel His love envelop me But He I could not find. I tried to touch, to reach, to see To hear all that I sought But nothing was there manifest As all I found was naught.
