I don't know who wrote this, but they are fine words. Can you identify the author so I can properly attribute them?
In referring to the religious devotion of the author, this prose succinctly captures his or her wonder at the beauty of Creation (or, if you prefer, the environment on the third planet from the Sun). It shows an appreciation for the physical world around us, and demonstrates how this appreciation can be enhanced by giving it a spiritual context. You don't need to be religious to be spiritual: prophet and scientist alike may draw inspiration from these words.
My footsteps
I know you hear night and day.
Your pleasure
Blooms in the purple of autumn's dawn,
Sparkles in the springtime shower of blossoms.
The nearer I come to you on your path,
The livelier dances the sea.
Like lotus-petals my life unfolds
From birth to birth,
And your crowding suns and stars
Circle men in wonder.
The blossom of the world woven of light
Fills your offering hands,
And your shy heaven
Unfolds its love,
Petal by petal,
In my sky.
