Challenge
Challenge of the Month XI: December
The Unknown. Perhaps it's our purpose, or an obscure branch of theoretical physics. Maybe it's the existence of a supreme being, or the origin of life. Or maybe it's something more personal. Write about something unknown. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose. $100 purse to our favorite entry. Outstanding entries will be shared with our publishing partners.
Where
Is he in the face of the homeless man screaming
His words of poetry, of a better life, of dreaming
Or is he found in the tears of the women locked in cages
Missing their families, longing to see their children's faces
When much of the world is celebrating his birth
I search tirelessly for his presence, his grace on Earth
I think I can make out his image, a figure faint
There, in the faces of others, many current day saints
It's not, though a common belief, that he isn't here
Rather, it's that often times my vision's not clear
He is near
